Oven Poached Plums
A simple ever so quick recipe that is really delicious and can use up lots of really ripe fruit. Allow about 3 or 4 plums per person. This recipe also works really well if you have over ripe apricots, apples or pears.
Ingredients
Serves 4
- 700g or 15 overripe plums, washed and halved stone removed
- 100ml Greek yogurt or whipping cream flavoured with vanilla essence
-
4 tablespoons brown Sugar and Syrups
Sugar and Syrups
Try having in stock caster sugar, muscavado, honey and golden syrup
- Once opened ensure they are tightly resealed with quick clips or bag clips.
- If you have got rock-hard brown sugar, crystallised honey/syrup, place in a suitable non-metallic bowl and give a quick blast of about 30 seconds on high in the microwave to bring these back to their normal state.
-
1 teaspoon ground Cinnamon
Cinnamon
Great in buns, cakes, and puddings.
- Add to baked apples or apple pies.
- Break the stick and add to poaching syrup for fruits like pears, plums or bananas or use to infuse wine or punch.
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F) mark 5.
- Place the plums on an ovenproof dish and sprinkle with the cinnamon and sugar.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the fruit is tender. Serve warm with Greek yogurt or vanilla cream.
Save more plums
TOP TIP
Ripen part-ripe fruit on a warm windowsill.
