While Sugar Plums Dance In Your Head...


So try this different recipe. I saw it somewhere recently and cannot recall where. I made it while we were eating dinner, it was easy and delicious.

Carmelized Plums

Half plums and pit them.
Wash and set in a shallow baking pan (I covered the pan with foil to help alleviate any baked on stuff)
Add a pat of butter to each plum half
Add a lump of brown sugar on top of that (more if you like; it's basically going to carmelize in the oven)
Bake slowly in the oven on 300 degrees for about half an hour.

After, add vanilla ice cream. YUMMY.

It was easy, and the Oldest ate fresh fruit. Granted, it was covered in butter and sugar with ice cream but STILL you do not know what a feat this is. Next I'm going to go for broke and have him eat it fresh. Imagine that (I did get him to eat a cut piece of fresh plum when I was preparing it, he tried to give it back to me and I handed it right back, insisting he eat it; he did. :) I shall assert myself more often!

Seriously, try the easy recipe of baked plums. We ALL enjoyed it and it wasn't too filling.
