One taste of this recipe and you'll understand why visions of sugar plums were a thing. No need to save this recipe for Christmas. Enjoy it when stone fruits are ripe and in season. It's delicious as a dessert, but also makes a wonderful fruit-and-nut breakfast accented with creamy yogurt. If your toaster oven is large enough, use it to roast the plums. Also, you might roast other stone fruits or a combination of several. Try apricots, nectarines, and peaches.
Ingredients
Sliced almonds (unsalted, no oil or sugar added)
¼ cup(s), unblanched variety
Sliced almonds (unsalted, no oil or sugar added)
1 Tbsp, unblanched variety
Packed brown sugar
3 Tbsp
Unsalted butter
2 tsp
Plum
6 item(s), medium, red or purple plums, halved and pitted
Plain fat free Greek yogurt
½ cup(s)
Honey
1 Tbsp
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Spray a large baking sheet with nonstick spray.
2
Combine 1⁄4 cup of the almonds and the brown sugar in a food processor and pulse until the almonds are finely ground. Add the butter and process just until combined.
3
Arrange the plums, cut side up, on the prepared baking sheet. Fill the cavity of each plum half with a level 1⁄2 teaspoon of the almond mixture; reserve the remaining mixture. Roast until the almond mixture is browned and the plums are softened, about 15 minutes.
4
Meanwhile, stir together the yogurt and honey in a small bowl.
5
Stir together the remaining ground almond mixture with the remaining 1 tablespoon almonds in a small bowl. Place 3 plum halves on each of 4 plates. Spoon a generous 2 tablespoons of the yogurt mixture on each plate and sprinkle evenly with remaining almond mixture. Yields 3 filled plum halve per serving.
