Mulled Stewed Plums | An Austrian Recipe
This recipe for Mulled Stewed Plums comes directly from Austria! Think of it as a boozy, spiced plum compote – It is traditionally served with fluffy pancakes (Kaiserschmarren) but I really like it as a seasonal topping for cheesecake or ice cream!

Ingredients
- 600 g prune plums
- 50 - 70 g sugar
- 300 ml red wine
- juice of 1 orange
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 vanilla bean
- 1 shot rum
Instructions
-
Slice the vanilla bean open and scrape it out. Wash, pit and halve the plums. Let the sugar caramelize in a pot over medium heat until it starts to turn golden brown. Add the red wine as well as the spices (and the scraped out vanilla pod) and let cook for a minute. Add orange juice and plums and reduce the heat to low. Let simmer on low heat until it thickens a bit. As the last addition, stir in the rum. Let the mulled stewed plums come to room temperature and refrigerate overnight.

You can also fill the hot mulled stewed plums into sterilized glass jars and keep them in a dark place for up to 3 months.
