Fresh plums take front and center in this delectable summer treat. Plum compote is the perfect combination of sweet and tart. Top ice cream (or even pancakes in the morning) with the perfectly seasoned fruit mix!
Stir together the plums and sugar in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
Reduce the heat slightly to maintain a low boil. Stir often and continue to cook the compote until the fruit is very soft and begins to break down. Gently smash it as you stir. This can take 5 to 20 minutes, depending on firmness of the plums.
Once the fruit has softened and a thick syrup forms around it, remove it from the heat. Stir in the cinnamon and salt. Transfer to a jar, cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least one hour. Serve over ice cream.
