Lønnestæde's Plums in Spiced Red Wine - year 2012


This is the second recipe in a row with focus on how to use your surplus of plums.

This time it is the 2012 edition of plum in spiced red wine, here I have made a few changes to the various spices used in Lønnestræde´s Plums in Spiced Red Wine - year 2011.

I simply looked through my kitchen cupboards finding useful spices for this wonderful tasteful plum in red wine. I can only strongly you to try them. In this recipe I am using smaller plums with a more firm texture.

When you cook these plums you are having the most fantastic smell of gløgg in your kitchen.
