Ingredients
2 cups red wine
1 cup water
20 pitted prunes
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
3 tablespoons honey
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Bring the wine, water, prunes, vinegar, honey, ginger, and cinnamon to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the prunes are tender, about 25 minutes.
