Notes
Storage and Reheating
Store the stewed plums in an airtight container and keep the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can also place them in freezer-safe jars and freeze for up to 5 months. Just thaw them in the fridge before serving.
If you need to reheat, do so gently on the stove or in short bursts in the microwave. To keep the flavors and texture fresh, only reheat what you plan on eating.
