Additional recipe notes
If you have tart plums, feel free to use 1 cup of sugar instead of ¾ cup. If you have really sweet plums, feel free to go down to ½ a cup. Tastes great with vegan vanilla ice cream. This dish is best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days.
Storage & reheating safety
For cooked, perishable leftovers, refrigerate within 2 hours (1 hour above 90°F), using shallow containers for prompt cooling. Keep the refrigerator at 40°F or below, use refrigerated leftovers within 3–4 days, and reheat hot leftovers to 165°F, checked with a food thermometer. Follow any shorter package limit.
These are general safety limits, not a tested storage or freezing recommendation for this particular dish. USDA leftovers guidance · Safe cooking temperatures
