Ingredients
- 8 whole ripe plums
- 0.5 cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Wash the plums thoroughly and cut them in half. Remove the pits and slice the halves into quarters for quicker cooking.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, lemon juice, and maple syrup. Stir well to combine.
Step 3
Add the sliced plums to the saucepan along with the cinnamon stick and vanilla extract. If using ground nutmeg, sprinkle it in as well.
Step 4
Place the saucepan on medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to ensure the plums are evenly coated in liquid.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and let the plums cook for 12-15 minutes, or until they become soft and release their juices. Stir gently during cooking to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Once cooked, remove the cinnamon stick and allow the stew to cool slightly before serving. The mixture will thicken slightly as it cools.
Step 7
Serve warm or chilled as a topping for yogurt, oatmeal, pancakes, or enjoy on its own. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
