Kompot ze Śliwek (8)
- this can be sealed into air-tight jars when very hot, and it keeps for weeks.  We panic-produce it in August and September when my mother's plum tree comes into fruit.  The total volume is about 2.2 litres, and it's a very good drink well-chilled on a hot day.  This recipe is dead easy, and makes a drinking compôte, unlike some which are good for desserts.

900 g plums
150 g sugar
1500 lm water
strip lemon peel

          Clean fruit, remove stones, and cut into quarters.  Put into a large pot with sugar and water, and bring to boil.  Once boiling, boil only for another minute or so, and ladle the whole thing onto the peel, in whatever container you wish.  Once cooled to room temperature, chill well.  Use quickly if not sealed hermetically.
