Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 whole plums
- 120 ml water
- 50 g brown sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.25 tsp ground ginger
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Wash the plums thoroughly under running water and pat them dry.
Cut each plum in half, remove the pit, and slice into quarters or eighths, depending on your size preference.
In a medium saucepan, combine water, brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon stick, vanilla extract, ground ginger, and salt.
Stir the mixture over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the liquid begins to simmer.
Add the sliced plums to the saucepan and gently stir to coat them in the spiced liquid.
Bring the mixture to a light boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the plums soften and release their juices.
Taste the stewed plums for sweetness and adjust by adding a bit more sugar or lemon juice, if needed.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and discard the cinnamon stick.
Let the stewed plums cool slightly before serving. They can be enjoyed warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
Serve as a topping for yogurt, pancakes, oatmeal, or ice cream, or enjoy them on their own as a sweet treat.
