Ingredients

  • 2 lbs plums or other stone fruit, apricots work well
  • 1 Tbsp sugar
  • 2 Tbsp bourbon
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla bean paste or the seeds of a vanilla bean
  • 4 cups vanilla ice cream

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Set oven to 425°F.
  2. Halve and pit the plums. If the pits don't come out easily, use a small spoon to gouge them out. If the fruit is large, cut it into quarters. Toss with the sugar, bourbon, lemon juice, and vanilla and put it in a baking pan just large enough to allow them to form a single layer.
  3. Roast for about 20 minutes, tossing once or twice, until they become bubbly, soft, and juicy.
  4. Remove and let cool slightly before layering into small bowls or glasses with the ice cream.

Notes

  • This is inspired by Jamie Oliver from his Meals in Minutes cookbook.
