Ingredients

  • 500 g Plum

  • 100 g Sugar, white

  • 100 ml Water

  • 1 piece Spices, cinnamon, ground

  • 2 piece Spices, caraway seeds

  • 0.5 piece Vanilla, extract, natural

  • 4 pieces Ice cream, vanilla

Steps

  1. Wash the plums, remove the pits, and cut them in half. In a pot, add water, sugar, a cinnamon stick, and star anise. Split the vanilla pod lengthwise with a sharp knife and scrape out the seeds, adding both the seeds and the pod to the pot.

  2. Place the pot on the stove and bring the mixture to a boil. Stir until all the sugar has dissolved. Once boiling, add the plums, reduce the heat, and simmer gently until the plums soften (about 5 to 10 minutes).

  3. Once the plums are soft, remove the pot from the heat and let the syrup and plums cool slightly.

  4. Serve the plums in bowls, pour the syrup over them, and add a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Serve the prepared dessert.
