Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium (approximately 1.5 lbs) Fresh plums
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 3 tablespoons Powdered erythritol (or keto-friendly sweetener of choice)
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 cup Water
Instructions
Wash the plums thoroughly. Slice them in half, remove the pits, and then cut each half into quarters.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the water and almond milk. Place the pan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the powdered erythritol, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and vanilla extract to the saucepan. Stir well until the sweetener is fully dissolved.
Stir in the lemon zest for a bright, fresh flavor.
Carefully add the quartered plums to the saucepan and gently stir to coat them in the liquid.
Lower the heat to medium-low and let the plums simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. The plums should soften and release their juices, creating a fragrant, syrupy sauce.
Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if necessary by adding a bit more powdered erythritol to your liking.
Once done, remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the stewed plums to cool slightly.
Serve the stewed plums warm as a dessert, or use them as a topping for keto-friendly pancakes, yogurt, or low-carb ice cream.
