- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Drizzle the vanilla extract and fresh lemon juice over the spiced plums.
Dot the plums with small pieces of unsalted butter for richness.
If desired, drizzle a tablespoon of honey over the plums for added sweetness.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and roast the plums for 20-25 minutes, or until they are soft and bubbling.
