Even plums that are less than perfect taste fabulous when they're stewed into a compote. Adrizzle of honey over the ice cream hardens like hot fudge, becoming wonderfully chewy.

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup sugar
6 firm, ripe black plums (about 1 3/4 pounds)
1 1/2 pints vanilla ice cream
Honey, for drizzling
Fresh thyme, for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring sugar and 1/2 cup water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Meanwhile, pit each plum, and cut it into 8 to 12 chunks.
  • When sugar mixture boils, add plums, and return to a boil. Cook 2 minutes. Cover; reduce heat, and simmer until plums begin to break down, about 7 minutes. Remove lid; simmer until mixture is saucy, about 10 minutes more.
  • Transfer plums to a large bowl using a slotted spoon (so excess syrup can drip back into pan). Cook syrup over high heat until it is very bubbly and has the consistency of warm jelly, about 10 minutes. Pour syrup over plums, and let cool slightly.
  • Divide compote among six dessert bowls. Top each serving with a large scoop of ice cream. Drizzle with honey, and sprinkle with thyme leaves or sprigs.

I'm not a huge fan of plums, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The ice cream is creamy and flavorful, and the plum compote is the perfect balance of sweet and tart.

The ice cream was good, but the plum compote was a bit too tart for my taste.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll stick to store-bought ice cream and compote next time.

I had some trouble getting the ice cream to churn, but once it was done, it was worth the effort. The plum compote was also very good.

The ice cream was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the plum compote was delicious. I would definitely make this again, but I would use less sugar in the ice cream.
