Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 whole ripe plums
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup water
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
Wash and pit the plums, then cut them into halves or quarters, depending on your preferred size.
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, maple syrup, and fresh lemon juice. Stir well to mix.
Add the cut plums to the saucepan, followed by ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and let the plums cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. The plums should soften and release their natural juices, creating a syrupy mixture.
Taste and adjust sweetness if desired by adding a small amount of additional maple syrup.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving. The stewed plums can be served warm or chilled.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
