Notes
- For the best stewed plums, you want to cook them low and slow. You might see some recipes that say they are ready in 10 minutes, but we find that the longer cooking time is worth it. It really softens the plums (which is needed if they are out of season) and gets a nice thick syrup.
- You can serve these hot or cold.
- Don't go too heavy on the spices, as you want them to be subtle.
