The amount of sugar you like depends on the sourness of the plums. Taste and add more sugar if you wish. Serve with yogurt cheese, ice cream or sweetened mascarpone cheese.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups quartered pitted red or yellow plums or pluots, (about 2 lb/1 kg)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 lemon
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves

Preparation

Place plums and sugar in saucepan. Using vegetable peeler, peel off strips of lemon rind; add to saucepan.

Squeeze lemon to make 1 tbsp (15 mL) juice; add to saucepan along with cinnamon and cloves. Bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer until plums are tender, about 10 minutes. Serve warm or cool. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.)
