Homemade Plum Sauce:

Cut washed and dried plums in half and remove pits. Place them in a buttered roasting pan, big enough to just fit plums. Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon on top. Roast plums in 400 F for about 10 minutes.

If your plums are not ripe, you may add 1/2 cup of water to the roasting pan to help plums to release juices.

Let them cool and blend desire amount of plums in a blender ( you can slice roasted plums and use them for breakfast bowls, desserts or enjoy them solo ). You may add maple syrup to the sauce if you would like it to be more sweet.
