Vanilla Poached Plums
I think of all the fruits, plums have to be one of my favourites. Todd agrees. I love to eat them out of hand when they are really ripe, with plenty of napkins to catch the juices. They have an almost perfume-like flavour. They are quite simply beautiful.
Oh my but these are good. I like them with a nice scoop of Vanilla Bean Icecream on top . . . it’s the Canuck in me. Todd likes them with lashings of custard . . . he’s a Brit . . . his veins run with custard.
One bite and I was back in Austria where we holidayed one year . . . each morning they served us these lovely poached plums for breakfast, along with yoghurt and meusli. It was a gorgeously delicious and healthy breakfast.
But . . . trust me when I say . . . these are a bazillion times scrummier!
Poaching fruit is the perfect thing to do with supermarket fruit that you know will annoyingly rot before it actually ripens. Actually hard fruits are just wonderful done this way. It gives them new life. We like this with vanilla ice cream, but a dollop of Greek yoghurt or Creme Fraiche is always lovely too. You also don’t need to keep the spices at just vanilla. Try using some bruised cardamom pods, cinnamon or cloves along with the vanilla!
8 plums, washed, cut in half and stoned
1 litre of water (4 cups)
a strip of lemon peel, no pith
the juice of half a lemon
1/2 a vanilla bean, split lengthwise
I am so happy that lighter days are here and grateful for sunnier days as well. My food pictures turn out so much nicer!
