Zwetschkenröster is a quick Austrian plum compote made by briefly simmering fresh plums with a cinnamon stick. Made with simple, natural ingredients and no added fat, this compote can be served on its own or alongside desserts.
Wash the plums, remove their stones and quarter them.
Put the plums in a saucepan with the water, sugar and cinnamon stick. Cook over low heat for 10 minutes, until the plums soften and release their juices.
Remove the cinnamon stick and serve warm or cold. Sprinkle with grated lemon zest if you like.
If your plums are very tart, you can add one more spoonful of sugar to balance the tartness.
