Ingredients

  • 4 red plums, pitted and thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup port wine
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1-inch piece cinnamon stick
  • 3 whole cloves
  • 3 whole black peppercorns
  • 4 ready-made crepes (from the bakery section)
  • Whipped cream, for garnish

Method

  • Put the plums, port, water, brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and peppercorns in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • Reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook until the plums are soft but still hold their shape, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Transfer the plums to a bowl with a slotted spoon, remove the spices, and cover to keep warm.
  • Increase the heat to medium-high and cook the remaining liquid until thick and syrupy, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • To serve, put a crepe on each of 4 dessert plates.
  • Put a spoonful of plums on one quarter of each crepe.
  • Then, fold the crepe over the filling to create a triangle shape.
  • (The crepes can also be served folded in half like an omelet, or rolled.)
  • Top each filled crepe with a dollop of whipped cream, then drizzle the warm port syrup over the top of each.
