Sweet and sour sugar plums

sweet and sour plums

This sweet and sour plum recipe is truly delicious; serve with cream, ice-cream, yoghurt, or it would make a lovely addition to trifle, pavlova, on top of cake or with meringues

I thought I should also note that this isn’t something that I would make often for H.  It contains both sugar and red wine – not very toddler friendly foods!  The alcohol is however thoroughly cooked off.  It is a desert that would be great served at a dinner party, possibly with the meringues mentioned above, and would satisfy the adults and children alike

Sweet and sour sugar plums

Ingredients

  • 400 g sugar plums (or other type of plum), halved and pitted
  • 100 g coconut sugar
  • 50 ml red wine vinegar
  • 100 ml red wine
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 each star anise and cinnamon quills
  • 1 vanilla bean , split, seeds scraped (alternatively use vanilla bean paste)
  • Zest of 1/2 lemon

Instructions

  • Combine sugar, vinegar, wine, water, spices, vanilla and zest in a pan over low heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Bring to the boil, then simmer until reduced by half. Add plums; cover with a lid and cook over very low heat for about 15 minutes. Using a slotted spoon transfer plums to a bowl. Return pan to medium heat and simmer for 5 or so minutes until the mixture is syrupy. Add syrup to plums, cover and refrigerate until chilled and ready to serve
