PRUNES IN ARMAGNAC
Steps:
- Place 3 cups of water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat, add the tea bags, and steep for 5 minutes. Discard the tea bags, add the prunes and honey, turn the heat to medium-high, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer uncovered for 3 minutes to plump the prunes.
- Pour the prunes and all the liquid into a medium bowl and stir in the Armagnac, vanilla, orange juice, vanilla bean, and cinnamon sticks. With a vegetable peeler, cut 4 large strips of zest from 1 lemon and add to the mixture. Cut the lemon in half, cut 4 (1/2-inch-thick) slices, and add to the bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside at room temperature for 6 to 12 hours. (If you're not serving the prunes that day, refrigerate them in their liquid.)
- To serve, place the prunes in shallow dessert bowls and serve cold, at room temperature, or slightly warmed, spooning the macerating liquid over them. Add a scoop of ice cream, a drizzle of Armagnac, a drizzle of honey, and a sprinkling of grated lemon zest. (You'll be surprised how much flavor this adds!) Serve immediately.

- Arrange bananas and some dates and currants on 8 plates. Drain the babas and place 2 on each plate. Top with cream. Warm and ignite the Armagnac, and pour it on top.
ARMAGNAC CHOCOLATE ALMOND TART
I am a pecan pie lover...this is my twist on pecan pie. I use almonds instead of pecans and golden syrup instead of corn syrup. Both chocolate and Armagnac make this tart really special. Don't skip on toasting the almonds, it brings out the nuttiness of the pie. - Phoebe Saad, Framingham, Massachusetts

- Corpse Reviver N°1. Firstly, you may notice that the majority of cocktails that we suggest in this guide are classic late-19th century and pre-prohibition era concoctions.
- French Negroni. Cognac is a popular substitute for whisky if people find the Italian Negroni to be somewhat lacking in character. However, if you really want an exciting alternative, consider using Armagnac instead!
- Armagnac Aristocrat. The Aristocrat is a classic and refreshing brandy cocktail. By using Armagnac instead, you can benefit from added character and fruitiness, which is mouthwatering to say the least!
- Sazerac. To celebrate New Orleans’ 300th anniversary, Revolution in the Royal Sonesta hotel incorporated an 1893 millésime Castarede Armagnac into its Sazerac.
- Sidecar. Admittedly, the Sidecar was introduced in the 1920s at the Paris Ritz. Therefore, it was unlikely that Armagnac was ever used instead of cognac.
