Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1 pound ripe plums (I used sugar plums, but any sweet red plum will work here)
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • a few pieces candied ginger
  • 2 tablespoons Domaine de Canton ginger liqueur

Instruction

  • In a saucepan, combine whole plums, sugar, lemon juice, and ginger. Smash plums to release their juices, and bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Simmer for about 5 minutes or until plums or softened and the pits and skins float freely. Remove from heat and strain through a fine mesh sieve, discarding the solids. Stir in ginger liqueur.Pour plum mixture into an 8-by-8-inch baking dish and place in the freezer for 4 hours, stirring and scraping the pan with a fork every 30 minutes to break up the larger frozen pieces and produce a snow-cone-like texture. Spoon into chilled serving dishes and top with a sliver of plum and some candied ginger for garnish.
