Ingredients

  • 1 lb Fresh plums (can substitute peaches and/or grapes)

  • 2 Tbsp. Butter

  • 2 Tbsp. Brown sugar

  • 2 Tbsp. Honey

  • ¼ C. Orange juice

  • ¼ C. Brandy or orange liquor (optional)

blank

  • CopperBond 11" Skillet

Directions

  1. Cut fruit and remove pits. Cut into slices

  2. Melt butter, stir in brown sugar and honey until hot

  3. Add sliced plums and cook about 4 minutes.

  4. Add orange juice and optional brandy or liquor. Note: Be careful, as liquor will become a flambe if cooking on a gas range and pan is tilted. You can also ignite the liquor by using a hand-held long handled lighter. Stand back from the pan when igniting the flambe and always keep a fire extinguisher nearby in the kitchen.

  5. Cook another 3 minutes until sauce reduces partially. Fruit will stay slightly firm.
