Plum Compote with Cinnamon
A simple Turkish-style stewed fruit dessert where ripe plums are gently simmered with sugar, cinnamon and a touch of lemon juice until they soften into a glossy, spiced syrup. Served warm with a dollop of Greek yogurt and chopped walnuts, it leans on the natural tartness of the fruit rather than heavy sweetening, a style of fruit compote common across Turkish home kitchens.

Instructions
1
Halve and pit the plums, then cut each half into thick wedges.
2
Combine plums, sugar, water, cinnamon and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat.
3
Bring to a gentle simmer and cook uncovered for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the plums soften and the liquid reduces to a syrupy consistency, about 20% volume loss.
4
Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes so the syrup thickens further as it sits.
5
Divide the warm compote between two bowls.
6
Top each bowl with a spoonful of Greek yogurt and a scatter of chopped walnuts just before serving.
