Instructions

Cover the prunes with red wine and port, let soak overnight.
Heat the butter in a pan and add the chopped shallots, cook until the shallots are softs, about 5 minutes.
Add the soaked prunes and their liquid, the balsamic vinegar and pinch of salt.
Bring to a boil and reduce heat to medium low, cook for 25-30 minutes. Stir occasionally, but gently so that the prunes keep their shape. Remove from heat and serve warm.
