Ingredients

• 1/3 cup lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons grated lemon peel

Preparation

Step 1

In a large saucepan, bring 8 cups water to a boil. Add plums; cover and boil for 30-45 seconds. Drain and immediately place plums in ice water. Drain and pat dry. When cool enough to handle, remove skins. Cut in half; remove pits.

In a small saucepan, bring sugar and water to a boil. Cook and stir until sugar is dissolved, add lemon juice and peel; set aside to cool.

Place the plums in a food processor; add sugar syrup. Cover and process for 2-3 minutes or until smooth. Transfer puree to an 8-in. square dish. Freeze for 1 hour or until edges begin to firm; stir. Freeze 2 hours longer or until firm.

Just before serving, transfer to a food processor; cover and process for 2-3 minutes or until smooth.

Prep: 25 min. + freezing
