Plum Sauce

Soak a half pound California prunes in cold water eight hours; drain place in a saucepan with a good gill claret, two ounces sugar and two saltspoons ground cinnamon. Cover pan and slowly boil ten minutes; carefully lift up prunes with the skimmer and keep them on a plate until required. Add one and a half gills of demi-glace to the syrup and let reduce on a brisk fire twenty minutes, add prunes, boil five minutes more and use as required.
