Prunes in Wine with Toasted-Almond Cookies
['1 1/4 pound pitted prunes', '2 cups ruby Port', '2 cups dry red wine', '3/4 cup sugar', '1/2 vanilla bean, split', 'Accompaniments: toasted-almond cookies ; crème fraîche', 'sour cream', 'or ice cream']

Stir together all ingredients in a heavy medium saucepan until sugar has dissolved. Bring to a boil, then simmer, uncovered, gently stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced by half, about 25 minutes.
Remove from heat and cool until barely warm or room temperature. Discard vanilla bean.
