Prunes in Brandy

Pack the plums in layers in a wide-mouthed bottle strewing a liberal quantity of powdered sugar over each layer; fill it up with the best brandy, cork, and stand the bottle in the corner on a warm stove. After a few hours time, remove the bottle, and after letting it stand for a short time, the plums are ready for use, although they are somewhat improved by longer keeping.
