2 pounds red plums (preferably Santa Rosa), quartered
1 1/3 cups (about) sugar, divided

1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise

Steps:

  • Combine plums, 1 cup sugar, and cinnamon sticks in large saucepan. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; add bean. Stir over low heat until plums are very tender and compote thickens, stirring often and adding 1/3 cup sugar if desired, about 45 minutes. Remove from heat. Cool completely.
