Questions about Plum
How do you stew plums without adding sugar?
Halve and stone the plums, then simmer them gently with a splash of water for 6–10 minutes, until just soft. Ripe plums are often sweet enough on their own.
Can you use drained stewed plums in a crumble?
Yes. Spoon them into a baking dish, add the crumble topping and bake at 180°C for 25–30 minutes, until the topping is golden.
What do stewed plums go well with?
Serve them warm or cold with porridge, yoghurt, custard or rice pudding. They also make a simple topping for pancakes.
How long do homemade stewed plums keep in the fridge?
Cool them quickly, ideally within 1–2 hours, then refrigerate in a clean, covered container and eat within 2 days. The Food Standards Agency advises reheating leftovers until steaming hot and only reheating them once.
Can you freeze stewed plums?
Yes. Cool them, pack into a sealed freezer-safe container and freeze. Thaw in the fridge and use within 24 hours.
What can you use instead of stewed plums in a crumble?
Stewed apples or pears work well. Drain them before adding, so the filling does not make the crumble soggy.
Are unsweetened stewed plums lower in energy than plums canned in syrup?
Per 100 g, unsweetened stewed plums have 48 kcal, compared with 127 kcal for drained plums canned in syrup.
