Equipment

  • weighing scales
  • measuring spoons
  • small saucepan
  • sieve
  • Kitchen knife
  • cooling rack

Ingredients

Mulled Plums

  • 450 g plums (approx 6 plums)
  • ½ bottle good quality red wine
  • ½ orange (sliced)
  • 2.5 cm (1") cinnamon stick
  • ⅛ nutmeg (grated)

Mulled Plum Syrup

  • remaining mulling liquor
  • 5 tablespoon caster sugar

Instructions

Mulled Plums

  • Place all the ingredients for the mulled plums into a large saucepan and bring to the boil.
  • Turn down the heat and gently poach the plums for 15 minutes. The plums should be soft but not too soft as you need to be able to peel and slice them.
  • Take the plums off the heat. Strain off the poaching liquor and set aside for making the syrup and puree. Discard the orange slices and cinnamon stick. Take each plum, place on a rack and allow to cool.
  • Once cool take half the plums, de-stone them and gently peel off the thin layer of skin. Leave each half as it is, or slice into thinner wedges.

Mulled Plum Syrup

  • Place the remaining mulled poaching wine into a saucepan and add caster sugar. Turn the heat to high and reduce the liquid by half until you have a pouring syrup. Set aside and allow to cool.
  • TOP TIP: Take care not to reduce the liquid too far or you will end up with a jam, rather than a syrup.
  • Store the mulled plums and syrup in separate airtight containers, in the fridge, for up to 5 days.
  • These plums are perfect to top of bowl of thick Greek yogurt with some granola. Or use the plums and syrup for dessert, they are delicious served over a cheesecake.
