Best Honey Roasted Plums With Mascarpone Cream And Brittle Recipes
HONEY-ROASTED PLUMS WITH MASCARPONE CREAM AND BRITTLE
Star anise, orange zest, and cinnamon infuse roasted plums and the vibrant liquid they exude with a panoply of flavors. The tender fruit is juxtaposed against a cloud of whipped mascarpone and shards of honey brittle that shine like jewels.

Steps:
- Make the honey brittle: Lightly coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Bring corn syrup and honey to a boil in a small saucepan, and cook until it registers 300 degrees on a candy thermometer (hard-crack stage). Carefully pour honey mixture onto baking sheet, tilting the sheet to spread mixture into a thin layer. Let cool completely. Break brittle into jagged pieces. (Brittle can be stored for up to 2 weeks.)
- Make the roasted plums: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine port, honey, star anise, vanilla seeds and pod, orange zest, and cinnamon stick. Place plums in a small ovenproof pan or baking dish, and pour the port mixture over the top. Roast, basting halfway through, until plums soften and liquid has reduced to a syrup, about 30 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack, then discard whole spices.
- Beat heavy cream in a medium bowl until soft peaks form. Gently fold in mascarpone. Divide plums among 4 bowls. Drizzle each with syrup from pan. Top each with a spoonful of mascarpone cream and a piece of brittle. Serve immediately.
HONEY-ROASTED PLUMS
This is a terrific light dessert. If you leave off the cream-cheese topping, it becomes a lovely accompaniment to roast chicken or pork.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place butter in a 3-quart shallow baking dish; melt in preheating oven, about 3 minutes.
- Add honey and orange juice to dish; stir until combined. Arrange plums, cut side down, in baking dish. Bake until tender and juicy, 25 to 30 minutes, turning plums over during final 10 minutes of baking and spooning juices over fruit. (If needed, add 1 to 2 tablespoons water to dish to prevent scorching.)
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together cream cheese and milk until blended. Spoon cream-cheese mixture on plums, and drizzle with pan juices. Serve plums warm or at room temperature.

BROILED PLUMS WITH MASCARPONE CREAM
A sprinkling of brown sugar is transformed into a sweet, syrupy topping when the plums are heated under the broiler. Choose fruit that is ripe but not too soft (the flesh should yield to gentle pressure). If you prefer the tart taste of red plums, use them instead of black ones.

Steps:
- Preheat broiler. Place plum halves, cut sides up, in a single layer in an 8-inch square baking dish. Pour brandy evenly over plums, and sprinkle with 1/4 cup sugar. Broil until plums are soft and sugar is caramelized, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, put mascarpone, cream, and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment; beat until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes. Top broiled plums with whipped mascarpone cream.
