Plum Sauce/La Salsa di Prugne

Plums are served both fresh and dried in Italy. Dried plums are often poached in wine. When I want a quick, but fancy dessert, I make this easy sauce and spoon it over lemon sherbet, vanilla ice cream or a plain tea cake. Use red or purple plums or a mix.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (about 10 plums) peeled, pitted and sliced
