Just plum good……

I bought several black plums over the weekend at a roadside stand on my way back from the lake to where we were staying.  They were perfect,firm and had the most beautiful color.  I couldn’t wait to use them!

Sometimes I forget until it’s too late,you know how that is.  So this morning I made a huge mess of pancakes for the boys.  I am taking requests these next few weeks until we go back to school ????

I sauteed these plums in a tablespoon of pure maple syrup and a pinch of cinnamon.  Poured over a hot stack of pancakes is was more like a dessert really.  We loved it.  Having a nice long breakfast together was a great start to my day!

Somtimes I like to sautee plums in a few ounces of black tea or a hibiscus tea.  Add a little sugar (very little….they don’t need much) cinnamon and a pinch of cardamom and that is a new twist on our favorite pancake and waffle topping.

  1. It was and very interchangeable (for me) when I use what I have! I am not a fan of bottled syrup so I like to make a fresh fruit topping when I can. PLUS, it only took me 5 minutes!
  2. Your idea of putting plums in tea and seasoning with cardamom is inspired! Love the idea. Makes me want to run to the market at 7 a.m.! I'm so glad I found your blog. Can you stand another award? Stop by Sprigs of Rosemary to claim and pass on if you'd like!
