Prunes in brandy with orange aroma is an exquisite dessert with Italian charm. This recipe combines the rich sweetness of prunes, the bitterness of brandy, and fresh citrus notes of orange zest. Such a dessert is often served in Italy as a conclusion to dinner, enjoying its deep, warming flavor. The brandy soaks the dried fruits, giving them softness and intensity, while fragrant pepper adds a subtle spiciness. It is consumed chilled as a standalone dessert or as an accompaniment to ice cream, cheeses, and pastries. This is the perfect treat for long evenings filled with conversations and a glass of aromatic wine.
