Ingredients

Directions

  1. Wash plums thoroughly, remove stems and leaves, then cut them in half and pit.
  2. Place the plums in a medium saucepan.
  3. Add the raisins, sugar, and water (or white wine) to the saucepan.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer until the plums are tender, about 15 minutes.
  5. While the plums simmer, mix the potato flour with a small amount of cold water to create a smooth slurry.
  6. Remove the saucepan from heat.
  7. Slowly pour the potato flour slurry into the plums in a thin stream while stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
  8. Return the saucepan to the stove over medium heat and bring to a gentle boil, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens slightly.
  9. Remove from heat immediately to prevent over-thickening.
  10. Pour the compote into a serving bowl or individual dessert dishes.
  11. Sprinkle a little extra sugar on the surface to prevent a film from forming if storing.
