Instructions

  • Add the plums to a baking dish and roast them at 275 degrees for about 4 hours. Now, I have these wonderful foraged plums that are all about the size of a cherry tomato. If you are using a standard plum from the store, I suggest you halve and pit them first.

  • They are done roasting. Wow, how gorgeous do these look? Now, pitting these before they were roasted would be a pain in the behind. So I did it after. The pits just slide right out, easy breezy.

  • Transfer the pitted plums to the food processor and puree them until very smooth.
  • In a medium sauce pan, combine the plum puree (should be about 1 cup), 2 cups red wine, 1 cup of sugar and the bay leaf. Bring it to a boil, just so that the sugar becomes incorporated.
