Report
Plum Compote with a touch of cinnamon and brown sugar, a delicious Autumn recipe that is super easy to make and really quick too. It's the perfect dish to prepare when you have a handful of fresh and ripe plums that could be put to a great use. Whether you serve it warm or cold, on its own or other dishes, you know you are in for a treat!

Ingredients
- 2 cups plums
- 1 ½ tablespoon dark brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Wash the plums with cold water, then remove the pits and cut the plums in half.
- Add them to a pan set over a low to medium heat.
- Add the cinnamon, sugar, water and lemon juice to it, and give it a good stir.
- Leave the mixture to simmer until the plums release their juices and they break down into a soft texture, and most liquid has been absorbed.
- Serve warm or cold.
Notes
- The amount of sugar you add depends not only on the amount of plums used, but also on how sweet or how tart they are.
- If they are deliciously sweet, you shouldn't need more than 1 tablespoon of sugar, but for tart ones you can increase to 2-3 tablespoons. Just check for sweetness as it cooks, and adjust the sugar accordingly.
- You only need to add a splash of water to the compote, as the plums also release quite a bit of juices, but that's only if they are proper ripe. Tart plums might need 1-2 tablespoons of water.
