Cover the prunes with hot water and leave to soak for one hour. Combine all ingredients in a small, heavy pan and bring to a slow simmer. Cook for 30 to 45 minutes until the sauce is as thick as ketchup. Add a little more water if it gets too thick. Puree with an immersion blender (or, transfer to a food processor) and let the sauce cool. Store, refrigerated, in tightly sealed jars for up to 1 month. Enjoy.
