Ingredients
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 6 plums*, cut in half and pitted
- 6 apricots*, cut in half and pitted
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
- *Cook's Note: Fruit should be ripe, yet still firm.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve the roasted fruit over vanilla bean ice cream, accompanied by a shortbread cookie. Alternatively, serve fruit with fresh whipped cream or creme fraiche and use it as a filling or topping for crepes.
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar and cinnamon.
In another bowl, toss the plums, apricots, vanilla extract, and orange juice together.
In a roasting pan or oven-proof baking dish, arrange the fruit cut-side up pouring any extra juice in the baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Roast for 15 to 20 minutes or until the fruit is fork tender.
