INGREDIENTS TO MAKE EASY PLUM COMPOTE

This section explains what all ingredients is used in making the easy plum compote, how to use or choose certain ingredients and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card below.

PLUM –  Fresh plums are used here, but frozen berries will work just as well. You can use any variety of plums available with you.

LEMON JUICE – Freshly squeezed lemon juice is used.  It also add a bright flavor as well as a boost of natural pectin to help thicken the blueberry sauce.

CINNAMON – I’ve used cinnamon powder. You can also use cinnamon stick. You can discard the as stick once the compote is ready. Cinnamon gives it a nice hint of spice that’s great for fall.
SUBSTITUTION – You can use vanilla extract or essence or can totally skip it.

SUGAR – Sugar is used to slightly sweeten the sauce and balance the tartness from the lemon and the plum. You can add the sugar as per the sweetness of your plum, especially if the plums are off-season and not very sweet.
SUBSTITUTION – You use maple syrup to sweeten the compote but you can also use honey for a non-vegan version if you’d like.

WATER – Very less water is used to cook the plum.
