15 15 30

Ingredients

  • 9 to 12 medium medium ripe red or purple plums (2 pounds), sliced
  • 1/2 cup red currant jelly
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 orange peel strip (1 to 3 inches)
  • 1 cinnamon stick (3 inches)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Fancy cookies and additional whipped cream and plum slices, optional

Directions

  • In a large heavy saucepan, combine the plums, jelly, brown sugar, orange peel and cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 10-15 minutes or until plums are tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat; cool slightly. Discard orange peel and cinnamon stick; coarsely mash plums. Cover and refrigerate.
  • Just before serving, in a small bowl, beat cream until it begins to thicken. Add sugar and vanilla; beat peaks form. Place about 1/4 cup plum mixture each in four chilled parfait glasses; top with 1/4 cup whipped cream. Repeat layers. Top with remaining plum mixture. Garnish with a cookie, dollop of whipped cream and plum slice if desired. Yield: 4 servings.
