INGREDIENTS

ripe plums

orange zest

sugar

orange juice

cinnamon

water

STEP 1.

Whatever plums you use, ensure it’s not underripe or overripe. The plum should be soft but firm when pressing gently.

STEP 2.

Wash and dry the plums and cut them vertically in half. Remove the stone with a small knife.

It can help to twist both halves in opposite directions to separate the halves. Set the plums aside.

STEP 3.

In a skillet over medium heat, add the water, orange juice, cinnamon stick, sugar, and orange zest. Let it come to a soft simmer and stir so the sugar can dissolve.

STEP 4.

Add the plums halves to the skillet with the cut-side down and let stew for a few minutes. Keep the heat at medium-low to keep a gentle and low simmer.

STEP 5.

After a few minutes, flip the plums to the other side and let stew for a few minutes. You can do this with a spoon or tongs.

STEP 6.

When the plums are ready to your liking, remove them from the heat with a spoon or tongs.

Alternatively, make a plum syrup by cooking the cooking liquid for a few extra minutes. Stir and let simmer until the juice becomes thicker.

The soft stewed plums are a delicious addition to ice cream, pancakes, or yogurt, but they can also be served on their own as a plum dessert.
