Poached plums with cinnamon recipe
Mmmm… there’s so much to love about these poached plums. They are really versatile; try them on their own, or with Greek yoghurt and honey, stirred through your morning granola, as a side to pannacotta, or as a sauce for roast duck. Absolutely delicious either hot or cold in whatever form!
Method
Place the ingredients in a medium sized saucepan and bring to the boil. Turn down to a low simmer and place a lid on top. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the plums skins have burst and the fruit is soft and pulpy.
Enjoy!

The amount of sugar you need will depend on how sweet the plums are. I’ve gone for a minimal amount here but increase it if the plums are still sour. Add the extra sugar bit by bit, tasting as you go, so that you get the right balance.”
