Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ripe plums
- 0.5 cup water
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
Wash the plums thoroughly and cut them in half. Remove and discard the pits, then cut the plum halves into quarters for smaller chunks.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the water, honey, lemon juice, and ground cinnamon. Stir the mixture over medium heat until the honey is dissolved.
Add the plum chunks into the saucepan and reduce the heat to low. Stir to coat the plums in the liquid.
Simmer the plums for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the plums are soft and begin to break down, creating a thick, syrupy consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Allow the stewed plums to cool slightly before serving. They can be enjoyed warm or chilled, and pair well with coconut yogurt, paleo granola, or as a topping for paleo pancakes.
