How to Make Plums Poached In Earl Grey Tea
- Combine 6 cups of water in a large saucepan and bring to a rolling boil over high heat.
- Remove from heat and add 4 Earl Grey tea bags. Cover and let steep for 10 minutes to infuse the water with the tea's delicate flavor.
- Remove the tea bags and return the saucepan to high heat. Bring the tea-infused water back to a boil.
- Stir in 1 cup of granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice.
- Continue stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, ensuring a gentle simmer. Add 1 pound of ripe plums (halved or quartered, depending on size).
- Poach the plums until tender, about 5-15 minutes, depending on size and ripeness. Smaller, riper plums will cook faster.
- Carefully remove the poached plums from the liquid and set aside to cool on a wire rack or plate.
- Continue to simmer the poaching liquid over medium-low heat until it reduces to a light syrup consistency, approximately 10-15 minutes.
- To serve: Arrange the cooled plums in small dessert bowls and spoon the Earl Grey syrup generously over the top.
