Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups sugar
2 cups water
1-inch piece cinnamon stick
4 3-by-1-inch strips lemon zest
1 small vanilla bean
6 small, firm red plums (about 1 pound)

  • Stir sugar and water together in a 2 1/2-quart souffle dish. Add cinnamon stick. Cook, uncovered, at 100 percent in a high-power oven for 3 minutes. Stir thoroughly, making sure there are no grains on the bottom of the dish. Cover with a lid or microwave plastic wrap. Cook for 6 minutes. Prick plastic, if used, to release steam.

These poached plums were delicious! The tartness of the plums was perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the syrup. I served them with a dollop of whipped cream and they were gone in minutes.

These poached plums were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The plums themselves were perfectly cooked and the syrup was lovely. I would definitely make these again, but I would use less sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of plums, but I tried this recipe and was pleasantly surprised! The poaching process really brought out the flavor of the plums, and the syrup was delicious. I served them over pancakes and they were a hit.

These poached plums were easy to make and turned out great! I used a mix of red and black plums, and the different colors looked beautiful in the syrup. I served them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and they were a hit.

I followed the recipe exactly and the plums turned out perfectly! They were tender and juicy, and the syrup was thick and flavorful. I served them with a dollop of whipped cream and they were gone in minutes.

These poached plums were a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The syrup was delicious though, and I could see these being great served over ice cream or yogurt.

I'm not usually a fan of poached fruit, but these plums were amazing! The syrup was perfectly balanced and the plums were still firm and flavorful. I will definitely be making these again.
