Easy Plum Compote

plums

sugar

lemon juice (or orange juice)

cinnamon (optional)

Wash and halve the plums. Remove and discard the stones, leave the skin on them and cut into quarters.

Add the sugar, water, lemon juice and cinnamon stick to a pot. Heat for a few minutes until the sugar dissolves.

Add the plums and bring to the boil.

Reduce the heat and cook, stirring occasionally, for 7-10 minutes or until the fruit begins to break down. The syrup will thicken slightly as it cools.

Enjoy warm or allow to cool and store in a jar in the fridge for up to 10 days.

Plum Compote

Roasted plum compote naturally sweetened with honey and infused with warming spices and vanilla. Serve on Greek yogurt (with a sprinkling of granola) or steel cut oatmeal. This compote also tastes fantastic on top of pancakes, buttermilk waffles, or vanilla ice cream for a quick and easy dessert!

Roasted Plum Compote

lb ripe, yet firm Italian plums (or other small varieties) (halved and pitted)

cinnamon (for sprinkling (see notes for spice substitutions))

pure honey

vanilla bean paste

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) with a rack in the center position.

Place the plum halves cut-side up in a 2-quart capacity baking dish (or alternatively, an 8-inch square baking pan) and spread into an even thin, tighlty packed layer. It is ok if they slightly overlap, but try to mostly keep them in a single layer.

Sprinkle ground cinnamon over the plum halves, then drizzle the honey evenly across the fruit. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the plums have softened slightly, and gently toss with a spoon. Continue baking for an additional 5 to 15 minutes, or until the plums are soft and syrupy, yet still intact. Total baking time will vary depending on the size and ripeness of your fruit.

Set aside on rack to cool - the liquid will become thicker and more syrupy as it cools. Stir in vanilla paste or extract, if using. Transfer compote to a container and store in the fridge for up to a week. Best served with yogurt or on top of ice cream, pancakes, or waffles.

This is a great recipe! I added some lemon zest/juice to give it a little extra something.  I cooled it and folded some puff pastry and vanilla glaze over it for a sweet and tart dessert!

I had an Italian plum tree bless me this season so I went looking for recipes. Just took this out of the oven and grabbed a spoon. So good and really brings out the tart and sweet of the fruit. 

This recipe is the bomb-diggity! I tried it with plums I got off of our tree, and it was fantastic. I'm now baking some peaches with the cardamom option. It smells delicious. I love that it's so quick, simple, and TASTY!

Incredibly delicious with Greek yogurt and so easy to prepare! Prune plums are in abundance currently here in BC so this recipe will become a mainstay for us during this time. Definitely want to try with our local peaches as suggested by others!! Cheers for the awesome recipe!

We have a large Italian prune plum tree in Victoria BC Canada. After handing out lots to friends and eating raw, we freeze bags of them. Leaving enough for the local Raccoons. The timing has to be just right to get to the tree before the Raccoons do. Back to the recipe, we used frozen plums and followed your recipe, added a little lemon juice. It turned out great !!

Followed the recipe exactly and the result is very good. The compote is a little tart (obviously that will vary with the type and ripeness of the plums) but it's delicious and if desired we can add more sweetener. The kitchen smells of Christmas!

Made this with local peaches today. Came out very good! I cut them in fours and peeled them, then did the rest as written.
