Juicy Plum Compote With Cozy Spices (Sugar-Free)
This juicy plum compote is the perfect light dessert when you need something sweet and fruity with that little extra something.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 550 - 600 g plums (I used a round variety, but you can go for any sweet plums you can get)
- 150 g dried figs about 8-10 figs
- 300 ml orange juice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 5 cloves
- 5 cardamom pods
- 3 tablespoons Sherry optional
Instructions
- Wash your plums, cut them in half, and remove the pits.
- Finely chop the dried figs, making sure to remove those tough stems.
- In a medium pot, combine the chopped figs, orange juice, sherry (if you’re using it!), cinnamon, cloves, and cardamom. Cover and cook over low heat for about 10 minutes, just until the figs get nice and soft.
- Add the plums to the pot, cover it again, and let everything gently simmer for another 10 minutes.
- Remove the pot from the heat. Grab a spoon and fish out the cloves and cardamom pods. Or, if you want to make it super easy, you can tie them in a spice bag before you start!
- Serve it warm or hot. Enjoy!
