Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups sugar
2 cups water
1-inch piece cinnamon stick
4 3-by-1-inch strips lemon zest
1 small vanilla bean
6 small, firm red plums (about 1 pound)

Steps:

  • Stir sugar and water together in a 2 1/2-quart souffle dish. Add cinnamon stick. Cook, uncovered, at 100 percent in a high-power oven for 3 minutes. Stir thoroughly, making sure there are no grains on the bottom of the dish. Cover with a lid or microwave plastic wrap. Cook for 6 minutes. Prick plastic, if used, to release steam.

The plums were a bit too tart for my taste, but the sauce was delicious. I would probably add a little more sugar to the sauce next time.

These poached plums were an absolute delight! The combination of sweet and tart flavors was perfectly balanced, and the plums themselves were incredibly tender and juicy. I served them with a dollop of whipped cream, and they were the perfect ending
