Ingredients
- 8 whole ripe plums
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup water
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
Wash and pit the plums, then cut them into halves or quarters, depending on your preferred size.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, maple syrup, and fresh lemon juice. Stir well to mix.
Step 3
Add the cut plums to the saucepan, followed by ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Step 4
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and let the plums cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. The plums should soften and release their natural juices, creating a syrupy mixture.
Step 6
Taste and adjust sweetness if desired by adding a small amount of additional maple syrup.
Step 7
Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving. The stewed plums can be served warm or chilled.
