Prunes à la Vanille

Make a syrup of equal quantities of lemon juice and water, adding ½ pound of sugar for every 1½ gills of water. Bring to a boil, then add a sufficient quantity of California prunes, which have been carefully washed and soaked, and stew very gently until the prunes are tender.

Then remove from the fire, add vanilla extract to flavor, turn into a dish and set aside to cool.
