Glazed plums with lime sherbet

Ingredients

Plums - 6 pieces
Sugar - 24 oz
Brown Sugar - 0.7 oz
Lime - 5 pieces
33% Cream - 16.9 oz
Almond - 1.1 oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

For the sherbet, combine 180 grams of sugar with 90 ml of water, bring to a boil, and let it cool. Then mix the resulting syrup with the zest and juice of limes and heavy sour cream. Lightly whisk the mixture, pour it into a small flat dish, and place it in the freezer for two to three hours.

Step 2

Cut the plums in half and remove the pit. Combine 500 g of sugar with an equal amount of water, bring the syrup to a boil, and then remove from heat. Immediately add the plums to the syrup and let them sit for about ten minutes. Different types of plums will require different times — the flesh should become tender, but it must not be cooked through. Remove the plums, then return the remaining syrup to the heat and reduce it by two to three times until it thickens nicely.

Step 3

Slice the nuts and lightly toast them in a dry skillet.

Step 4

Place the plums on a baking sheet with the flesh side up, and sprinkle with brown sugar. Turn on the oven to maximum broil, place the baking sheet on the top rack, and, without closing the door, let them cook in the oven for about five minutes, until the sugar turns into caramel. Remove the plums and let them cool.
