Roasted Plums with Ginger and Cream

  • 4

Ingredients

  • 4 Santa Rosa or other plums, halved and pitted
  • 2 Tbs. finely chopped crystallized ginger
  • 1 Tbs. sugar
  • 2 Tbs. water
  • Whipped cream for serving

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat an oven to 400°F.

Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place the plums, cut side down, on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them at least 1 inch apart. Roast the plums until just tender and their juices begin to pool, about 10 minutes, depending on their ripeness.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, stir together the ginger, sugar and water and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook until the flavors come together and the liquid becomes a light syrup, about 5 minutes.

Divide the hot plums among individual bowls or plates. Drizzle each serving with the ginger syrup, top with a dollop of whipped cream and serve immediately. Serves 4.
