Plum Compote
Plum Compote is a basic topping for your desserts, cakes, and so on. Made with fresh plums, it's sweet, sour, and delicious!
Ingredients
- 6 plums
- 5 tbsp brown sugar, or 4 tbsp white sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Cut the plums with peel into large cubes.
- Place the plums in a deep saucepan and sprinkle with sugar and lemon juice.
- Cook over low heat until tender, but firm and syrup forms. The process takes about 5/10 minutes. Keep in mind that the sauce continues to thicken when it cools. So turn off the heat just a little before you get a perfect consistency.
- If the compote is too thick, you can add a bit of water and continue simmering until you reach your desired consistency. If you want a sweeter compote add sugar to your taste.
- Remove from heat and let cool.
- Store the compote in an air-tight container or jar in the refrigerator for about a week. You can also freeze it.
Notes
- For a thicker compote you can add one tablespoon of corn starch dissolved in one tablespoon of water when the plums boil.
