BRANDIED PLUMS
These plums can be eaten right out of the jar, or used to make all sorts of wonderful desserts. The syrup is heaven, a gorgeous red-purple and is lovely to drink as a syrup or to mix with something for a cocktail--it is particularly delicious with champagne.

Steps:
- Preheat broiler. Toss plums with sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon in a 1 1/2- to 2-quart (9- to 10-inch round) gratin or other flameproof shallow dish (not glass). Let plums stand 5 minutes in dish to macerate.
- Add water to dish and broil plums 6 to 8 inches from heat, gently stirring once or twice, until fruit is softened, 7 to 10 minutes. Serve fruit and juice from pan topped with sorbet.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm plums: Ripe plums will be slightly soft to the touch and have a deep, rich color. Avoid plums that are too hard or have bruises or blemishes.
- Broil the plums until they are slightly caramelized: This will help to bring out their natural sweetness and flavor. Keep a close eye on the plums while they are broiling, as they can burn easily.
- Use a good quality mascarpone cheese: Mascarpone cheese should be thick and creamy, with a slightly tangy flavor. Avoid using a low-fat or non-fat mascarpone cheese, as it will not be as rich and flavorful.
- Sweeten the mascarpone cream to taste: The amount of sugar you add will depend on how sweet you like your dessert. You can also use honey or maple syrup instead of sugar.
- Serve the broiled plums with the mascarpone cream immediately: This dessert is best served warm, so don't let it sit for too long before serving.
Conclusion:
This broiled plums with mascarpone cream is a simple yet elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The plums are slightly caramelized and have a delicious smoky flavor, while the mascarpone cream is rich and creamy. This dessert is sure to impress your guests, and it is also very easy to make.
