Steps

  1. Wash the plums, halve them, and remove the pits. Place them in a pot, then pour boiling water over them. After 5 minutes, use a skimmer to remove the plums from the water and peel off their skins. Return the plums to the pot, then peel the lemon with a peeler. Add the lemon peel to the plums in the pot and sprinkle everything with sugar.

  2. Pour red wine into the pot and add a cinnamon stick. Cover the pot and simmer on low heat for 5 minutes to soften the plums. Cool the compote, serve it in bowls, and use the cinnamon stick for decoration. Serve the dessert.

Advice

To enhance the flavor, you can sprinkle powdered cinnamon over the compote. The compote can also be decorated with a slice of lemon. Pierce the plums with a fork while cooking - they should never become so soft that they fall apart! It is best to use an organic lemon, whose peel is not treated with pesticides. If an organic lemon is not available, immerse the lemon in boiling water for a few minutes and wipe it well to remove the wax containing toxins.
