How to Make Wine Poached Plums
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup dry red wine (like Pinot Noir or Merlot), 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 cinnamon stick, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Add 1 pound ripe plums (about 6-8 medium plums), halved and pitted. Reduce heat to low.
- Gently simmer the plums, covered, for 10-15 minutes, or until tender. Use a spoon to gently baste the plums with the poaching liquid.
- Carefully remove the plums from the saucepan and place them in a serving dish. Set aside.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the poaching liquid to a boil.
- Boil gently, uncovered, for 12-15 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened to your desired consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Pour the thickened poaching liquid over the plums and serve warm or at room temperature. Consider adding a dollop of plain Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of fresh mint for extra flair.
