      Title: Cornelius Stewed Damson Compote
 Categories: Five, Fruits, Condiments
      Yield: 16 servings
 
      1 kg Damson plums; pits left in
    3/4 c  Granulated sugar
    1/2 c  Water
      1    Cinnamon stick
      1    Vanilla bean; split longway
 
  Combine water, sugar, cinnamon stick and vanilla pod and
  stir until the sauce becomes slightly syrupy.
  
  Add the plums and bring to boil the immediately reducing
  heat. I like to leave the pits in as it gives an extra,
  almost almond like flavour to the compote. Simmer for
  about 10 minutes on a low heat until the plums start to
  tenderise and the sauce thickens into a jamlike
  consistency.
  
  Remove the pits from the compote and enjoy.
  
  Serve over granola, porridge for breakfast or if you
  prefer to enjoy it with dessert serve with Vanilla ice
  cream or even better impress your guests by serving it
  with a selection of cheeses and a PX Sherry or even a
  sweet moscato from Piedmonte. Delicious.
