This compote is made by simmering dried plums (Sham plums) in sweetened water until tender. Its balance of tart and sweet makes it a refreshing side for a main course or a dessert on its own.
Rinse the dried plums in lukewarm water.
Bring the plums and water to a boil over medium heat. Add the cinnamon stick, cover, and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes.
Add the sugar and cook over low heat for another 8–10 minutes, until the plums are tender and the syrup has thickened.
Remove from the heat. Once it has cooled to room temperature, refrigerate until chilled.
Serve chilled.
Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
