Ingredients

Instructions

Wash the plums and remove the stones. Cut the plums into quarters and place in a saucepan, mix with sugar (if you like it sweet, add a little more sugar) and vanilla sugar. Add the cinnamon powder and let it steep for an hour.
The sugar draws enough liquid out of the fruit so that no additional juice is required.
After an hour add the cinnamon stick and the Cointreau and bring to the boil. Let simmer for 5 minutes.
After cooling, you can of course eat the compote straight away, but it tastes best if you let it steep for a few hours.
If you fill the compote into jars while it is still hot and close it, it will keep for a while.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
