• What to use instead of sugar

Instructions

1. Boil the sugar with the water for 5 minutes to make the syrup.
2. Wash the plums and poach them whole in the syrup, over very low heat, until tender but not breaking, about 10 minutes.
3. Let them cool in the syrup. The author says stone fruit is much better cold than hot, and that this way you can use plums that couldn't be eaten raw.
