Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh plums any variety, washed and sliced with pits removed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or use coconut oil or butter
  • 1 tsp cinnamon optional, or honey for added flavor

Instructions

  • Wash and dry the plums.
  • Cut the plums into uniform slices, removing the pits.
  • Heat a nonstick frying pan over high heat and add olive oil.
  • Place the plum slices into the pan in a single layer.
  • Wait for them to sizzle, then reduce heat to medium-high.
  • Stir every minute, cooking until the plums are soft and tender (about 10 minutes).
  • Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning—medium or even low if they start to brown too quickly.
  • Optional: Add cinnamon or drizzle with honey just before serving.
  • Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use slightly overripe plums for the sweetest flavor.
  • These sautéed plums pair beautifully with oatmeal, yogurt, or vanilla ice cream.
