Ingredients

  • 1 pound Plums
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Water
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Flavoring (Optional)

Instructions

  • Wash, quarter, and pit plums.
  • In a large skillet add water and plums, cook on medium heat until plums start to reduce. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Use the back of a fork to smash plums if you want them a little more reduced.
  • Turn heat to medium-low, and add sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice. Stir continuously until all ingredients are well incorporated. Reduce until the sauce is your desired thickness, around 10 minutes. Add a tablespoon or two of water to thin sauce, if needed.
  • Serve as a side dish, over vanilla ice-cream, or even on top of pancakes or waffles. The possibilities are endless!
