Simple and sweet, this easy dessert makes the most of one of the season’s beloved stone fruits – plums. Simmered in sweet red wine, like Roscato brand, along with cinnamon, vanilla, brown sugar and orange zest for 15 minutes, this fruity treat tastes great as-is with a little whipped cream or served over sliced pound cake.
