The oaky taste of Armagnac, a French brandy made in Gascony, has long been paired with prunes. While Armagnac is available in vintage bottlings, nothing so extravagant is needed for this recipe. Use waterproof markers to decorate the outside of glass jars with flowers, abstract designs or a favorite line from a poem.
2 heaping teaspoons Darjeeling or other black tea leaves
2 cups boiling water
½ cup packed light brown sugar
1 1/4 pounds pitted prunes, (dried plums)
1 cup Armagnac, or cognac
1 vanilla bean, cut in half
