Ingredients:
1 1/4 pound small shallots (about 24) |
1/2 pound pitted prunes (1 1/2 cups) |
1 1/2 cups ruby port |
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar |
1 (3-inch) cinnamon stick |
1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorns |
1/4 teaspoon whole allspice |
Directions:
1. Blanch shallots (not peeled) in boiling water 2 minutes, then drain in a colander and rinse under cold water to cool. Peel shallots, then combine with remaining ingredients in a 10-inch heavy skillet. Simmer, uncovered, over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until shallots are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cool. Chill, covered, at least 8 hours for flavors to meld. Discard whole spices. Serve at room temperature.
