Sweet Stewed Plum Compote
Super Simple Plum Compote Recipe 🙂 Make a Delicious Plum Dessert with Seasonal Plums!
Introducing a compote recipe using aromatic and sweet seasonal plums. Enjoy a wonderful plum dish with simple steps!
Ingredients
- 4 ripe plums
- 1.5 cups sugar (or 15 Tbsp)
- 3 cups water
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, pour 3 cups of water into a pot and add a generous 1.5 cups of granulated sugar (approximately 15 tablespoons). This is about 1.5 cups using a standard paper cup.
Step 2
Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Ensure the sugar melts into a clear syrup without clumping.
Step 3
Wash the plums thoroughly under running water, remove the stems, and cut them into bite-sized pieces (e.g., quarters or sixths) with the skin on. Leaving the skin on will result in a richer flavor and texture.
Step 4
Once the sugar syrup is clear and dissolved, reduce the heat to low. Then, add the prepared plums to the pot and let them simmer gently over low heat.
Step 5
Simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes, or until the plums are tender and the syrup has slightly thickened. Your delicious plum compote is ready! The compote will thicken further as it cools. Try serving it as a topping for yogurt, ice cream, or spread it on toast.
