Caramelized Plums with Lemon-Gingersnap Yogurt

1.3

(1)

A fitting way to celebrate the arrival of plum season. Figs, peaches, and hulled strawberries can also be broiled in this manner.

Cooks' note:

To coarsely crush the gingersnaps, place them in a sealed plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

1/4 cup coarsely crushed gingersnaps
8 oz lemon yogurt
3 to 4 tablespoons sugar
4 plums, halved

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat broiler.

    Step 2

    Sprinkle gingersnaps over yogurt in a bowl and fold once only (for a marbled effect).

    Step 3

    Put sugar in a small dish and dip cut side of each plum half in sugar to coat well. Broil plums, cut sides up, in a lightly oiled shallow (1-inch-deep) baking pan 3 inches from heat until sugar is golden, 2 to 3 minutes.

  2. Step 4

    Serve plums with yogurt.
