I made these boozy caramelized plums to celebrate this great news. They’re simmered with butter, cinnamon, ginger and rum. But you can use your favorite liqueur, it can be brandy, slivovitz, orange liqueur,… just let your imagination run free. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and serve straight from the skillet. It will hit you! I promise!
How to store caramelized plums
- Store: Stewed plums will store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Reheat:To reheat them simply put desired amount of stewed plums in the saucepan and heat them up gently, on a low heat until warm/hot as per your liking. You can also briefly reheat them in the microwave.
- Freeze: They freeze really well. Transfer them into airtight containers and freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost in the fridge overnight.

What a great way to eat a plum, with a little brandy. Looks delicious.
thanks so much Jere!
Hi Anna, can it be eaten the next day? I would like to make it for some friends ahead of time. Thanks
Hi Bron, you can prepare it ahead of time by combining the plums with the rest of the ingredients, but without simmering yet. When ready to serve, simmer the plums for about 5 minutes. They don’t need longer because they’ll already be marinated. Please let me know if you have any more questions. Happy cooking! Anna
