If you’ve never dried plums in the oven, now is the time to give it a try. Sun-dried plums go well with wine and cheese. This interesting appetizer will decorate any holiday table! Olive oil can be replaced with odorless sunflower oil.

Step by step cooking recipe

Rinse the plums, cut in half and remove the pits.

Put the halves of the plums cut side up on a baking sheet covered with parchment, salt and send to the oven preheated to 100-120 ° C for 2-3 hours. Keep the oven door ajar to allow condensation to escape – the plums should be dried, not baked. If after the specified time the plums are still soft, continue the drying process.

Peel the garlic and cut into thin slices. After about 2 hours from the start of drying, sprinkle it with plums.

When the plums and garlic are dry enough, let them cool slightly and place tightly in sterile jars.

Add sprigs of thyme and rosemary.

Pour olive oil into a saucepan and bring to a boil over low heat (do not boil!).

Pour hot oil over the plums in jars to the very top, seal tightly, turn upside down and leave to cool completely. Move the cooled workpiece to storage in a cool dark place.
