Crush the anise seeds with the side of a large heavy knife. Broiling the honey-coated plum makes it caramelized and tender. Active time: 10 min Start to finish: 10 min
Ingredients:
1 firm large black or red plum
1 tablespoon mild honey
1/4 teaspoon, plus a pinch, cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon, plus a pinch, finely crushed anise seeds
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 teaspoon packed light brown sugar
Directions:
1. Preheat broiler.
2. Halve plum and discard pit, then cut each half lengthwise into 3 wedges.
3. Heat honey, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/8 teaspoon crushed anise seeds in an 8- to 10-inch ovenproof heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until honey is liquefied, about 1 minute.
4. Add fruit to honey, tossing to coat, then transfer skillet to broiler and broil 6 inches from heat, turning fruit over once or twice and basting with pan juices, until fruit begins to soften and is glazed, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer fruit along with any pan juices to a dish.
5. Stir together sour cream, brown sugar, and remaining pinch each of cinnamon and crushed anise seeds, then spoon over warm fruit.
