Plum Sauce

This is good for French Toast, Pancakes, Crepes, Shortbread and many other items.  It’s a good alternative to syrup or honey.

• 1 LB plums (chopped)
  Optional:  Figs or prunes
• 1/2 LB cherries
• vanilla, orange juice, cognac and sugar

1. Put plums into a pot and add 1 C water.
2. Bring to a boil.
3. While that is heating up, pit and puree your cherries and run through a food mill or strainer.  Discard solids.
4. Let your plums simmer uncovered (and reduce) for about ten minutes, then put in your cherry liquid and other ingredients (to taste)
5. Bring back to a simmer, then reduce until it starts to thicken.

Add on top of French Toast.  Top with granola if desired.
