Ingredients:

200g sugar
250g prunes (aloobukhara)
a drop of red food coluring (optional)

Method:

Thoroughly wash the prunes then soak in plenty of water for about 2 hours. Drain the prunes and place in a saucepan along with 120ml water and the sugar. Cook on low heat until the sugar has dissolved then cover and allow to cook for 30 minutes.

Add a drop of food colour (if you want the traditional reddish tinge to the sauce) then continue cooking, uncovered, until the sauce has thickened and the pits have separated from the prunes. Remove from the heat at this stage and set aside to cool.

Serve as a condiment.
