Plum Compote 1 Ingredients: 1/3 cup sugar (more or less, depending on taste) 3 tablespoons water One 1/4" slice of lemon zest (yellow part only) 1 1/2 cups pitted plums Cooking Instructions: Bring the sugar, water and lemon zest to a boil over high heat. Simmer for 5 minutes. This will extract flavor from the peel, dissolve the sugar and make a syrup. Add the fruit and continue to cook for about 5 minutes, until just tender. Remove the fruit from the juice and set aside. Discard the lemon zest. Reduce the juice over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, until it becomes syrupy. Pour the syrup over the cooked fruit.

Rosewater Plum Compote Ingredients: 5 pounds plums 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice 1 pound sugar 3 tablespoons rose water Cooking Instructions: Have a big bowl ready. Pit and chop the plums into small 1/2-inch pieces. As you chop place the chopped plums in the bowl and toss with a drizzle of the lemon juice every once in a while. When all the plums have been chopped gently toss them with any remaining lemon juice and the sugar. Stir in the rose water. If you have some time to spare, let the mixture sit for twenty minutes or so. In your largest, widest, thickest-bottomed pot bring the plum mixture to a boil over medium heat. Stir regularly scraping the bottom of the pot to make sure the fruit doesn't burn. Adjust the heat if needed and cook at a lazy boil for about 20-25 minutes, skimming off any foam that develops on top. Be mindful of the texture of the fruit, you don't want to overcook (or over stir) the fruit to the point that it breaks down and goes to mush. Remove from heat and spoon the compote into individual jars. Refrigerate until ready to use. It will keep for about a week like this. |
