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!
