Exchanges: 20 Fruit. NOTES : This is a classic French recipe that can be used as a garnish for dishes. My very favorite application, however, is to use these prunes to make what has to be the world's most sensuous, seductive, non-chocolate dessert, Prunes in a Pitcher (page 176). Armagnac, like cognac, gets its color and flavor from being aged in oak. I love to eat this as is or on top of hot oatmeal, or spoon some on top of a broiled grapefruit half. Nutr.
