Spiced plums
The flavour of these plums develops over a few months in sealed jars.
What you need
- 450 g granulated sugar
- 300 ml white wine vinegar
- 1 tsp whole allspice
- 2-3 cinnamon sticks
- 1 cm root ginger, peeled and sliced
- 900 g plums, washed
Method
Place the sugar, vinegar, allspice, cinnamon and ginger in a large pan. Heat gently, stirring until all the sugar has dissolved.
Add the plums and poach gently in the liquid until tender.
Lift the plums out of the liquid. Pack into hot, sterilised jars.
Reduce the poaching liquid a little by boiling. Pour over the fruits to cover completely. Allow to cool.
Seal and label the jars. Store for a few months before using.
Serving suggestion
Serve with a dollop of creme fraiche or cream.
