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!
