Ingredients
- 32 ounces plums - washed
- 1 vanilla bean - sliced lengthwise
- 1 to 2 dried red chiles - optional
- 2 cinnamon sticks - see notes
- ½ cup grated piloncillo or brown sugar
- 2 cups water
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients - Add all the ingredients to a medium sauce pan including water. Push the spices down into the water.
- Cook the plum syrup - Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cover. Simmer 10 minutes, then push the plums and spices down into the liquid. Continue to simmer without the lid to reduce and thicken - another 20-30 minutes.
- Strain the syrup - Pour the contents of the saucepan through a fine mesh sieve.
- Finish the syrup - Press the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Allow to cool completely before storing. Alternatively, you can use it warm over waffles, and it is amazing!
Notes
2 cinnamon sticks should be sufficient if they're pretty fresh. I doubled that because mine weren't very fragrant.
