Ingredients
- 3 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 Tablespoons brown sugar
- 4 red or black plums sliced in half and pitted
- ¼ cup Côtes du Rhone red wine or red wine of choice
- Pinch salt optional
- vanilla ice cream
- shortbread cookies crumbled, optional
Instructions
- Heat a sauté pan over medium heat. Add butter and let it melt, bubbling for a minute as the foam begins to disappear, and slightly brown. Whisk in brown sugar until combined and bring to a low simmer.
- Add plums to the pan, cut side down, evenly spaced. Reduce heat if needed to keep a low simmer. Cook for 4-6 minutes, until the plums are slightly softened (you can move the plums around a bit in the pan, if needed, to prevent sticking). Remove the plums from the pan and set them aside on a plate or in individual serving bowls.
- Reduce pan to low-medium heat and slowly pour in the red wine while continuing to whisk until combined. Let the sauce slowly simmer for 2-4 minutes until reduced slightly. Remove from heat. The sauce will thicken slightly the longer it rests.
- Add plums to individual bowls if you haven't already. Top the plums with your desired amount of ice cream (I like at least 2 scoops per bowl!). Pour the red wine sauce on top of each bowl, distributing evenly. Garnish with crushed shortbread cookies, and enjoy!
