A fresh and simple dessert that's quick to put together. The flavors develop better if it's made one day ahead. Ingredients:
2 pounds red-skinned plums, halved, pitted, each cut into 6 wedges |
2 1/2-pint baskets fresh raspberries |
1 750-ml bottle beaujolais or dry red wine |
1 1/2 cups water |
1 1/4 cups sugar |
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise |
2 3/4 cups (1/2 recipe) vanilla whipped cream |
Directions:
1. Combine plums and raspberries in large bowl. Combine wine, 1 1/2 cups water and sugar in large saucepan. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; add bean. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and boil until reduced to 2 2/3 cups, about 20 minutes. Pour hot wine mixture over plum mixture. Cool. Cover and chill overnight.
2. Spoon fruit mixture into dessert glasses or bowls. Top with cream.
