Blueberries can be substituted for cherries. Because riper fruits require more acid to balance their sweetness, the lime juice should be added to taste. Start with 1 tablespoon, then add 1 teaspoon at a time as necessary. Adapted from America's Test Kitchen. Posted for Summer '09 Comfort Cafe. Cook time is standing time.

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

4 teaspoons sugar
1-2 tablespoon fresh mint leaves, minced
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 red plums, pitted and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 2 cups-can also use black plums)
8 ounces fresh cherries, pitted and halved (about 2 cups)
1-2 tablespoon fresh lime juice

2
