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 (see note above)
Instructions
- <b>Roast the plums</b>
- Preheat an oven to 400&#176;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.
- <b>Make the ginger syrup</b>
- 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.
- <b>Finish the dessert</b>
- 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.
