SPICY OVEN-ROASTED PLUMS



Spicy Oven-Roasted Plums image

Several years ago I was looking for a recipe to take advantage of our bumper crop of plums, and came across a recipe similar to this. After tweaking a bit, I have come up with a very versatile version that my family and friends love. Season with ground white pepper and use it as a side dish for pork or chicken. Sprinkle with toasted almonds and spoon it over vanilla bean ice cream, angel food, or pound cake for dessert! Play around with the spice combination by adding cloves, allspice, or cayenne. Be adventurous!

Tips:

  • Choose the right plums: Look for firm, ripe plums with no blemishes. Avoid plums that are too soft or have bruises or cuts.
  • Prepare the plums properly: Wash the plums thoroughly and remove the pits. It's also a good idea to prick the plums with a fork or toothpick to help the pickling liquid penetrate.
  • Use a variety of spices: The spices used in pickled plums can vary, but some common choices include cinnamon, cloves, star anise, and ginger. You can also add other spices like black peppercorns, coriander seeds, or fennel seeds.
  • Make a flavorful pickling liquid: The pickling liquid is what gives pickled plums their unique flavor. Use a combination of vinegar, sugar, water, and spices to create a flavorful liquid. You can also add other ingredients like honey, ginger, or citrus zest to taste.
  • Let the plums pickle for at least a week: The longer the plums pickle, the more flavorful they will become. Be patient and allow the plums to pickle for at least a week, or even longer if you can.

Conclusion:

Spicy pickled plums are a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. They can be added to salads, sandwiches, wraps, and even desserts. They also make a great snack on their own. If you're looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy plums, give spicy pickled plums a try. You won't be disappointed!
