How to Make Vanilla Poached Plums

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Cut 1 vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape the seeds into a small bowl. Discard the pod.
  3. Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar to the vanilla bean seeds and stir well until combined.
  4. Place 1 pound ripe plums (about 6 medium) in a 1-quart baking dish.
  5. Pour the sugar and vanilla bean mixture over the plums. Add 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice and toss gently to coat the plums evenly.
  6. Dot the plums with 2 tablespoons of margarine or unsalted butter.
  7. Cover the baking dish with foil or a lid.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the plums are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly, stirring halfway through.
  9. Serve warm, either on their own or over vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
