Oven dried plums - martha stewart living

6 Cups

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
4 pounds Plums
1 tablespoon Sugar
1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon Olive oil
3 tablespoons Fresh thyme leaves (about 15 sprigs)

Directions

1. Heat oven to 250'. Cut plums in half lengthwise and remove pits.

Cut halves into 2-inch wedges. Place in a large mixing bowl and sprinkle with sugar, salt, pepper, vinegar, and oil. Toss to coat well.

2. Arrange plums on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cut sides up, about an inch apart. Sprinkle liberally with fresh thyme. Leave to dry in oven 3 hours. Turn off oven, and allow plums to remain inside at least 2 more hours or overnight. Plums will be wrinkled but still quite juicy when done.
