Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ripe plums
- 100 milliliters Water
- 1 piece Cinnamon stick (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Wash the plums thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry.
Cut each plum in half and remove the pits. If the plums are large, cut them into quarters.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the water and lemon juice. Add the plums to the pan.
For additional flavor, add the cinnamon stick and/or vanilla extract to the saucepan if desired.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Stir occasionally and let the plums stew for 10-15 minutes, or until they become soft and start to break down. Be careful not to overcook them if you prefer some texture.
Once cooked, remove the saucepan from the heat. Take out the cinnamon stick if used.
Allow the stewed plums to cool slightly before serving. They can be enjoyed warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
