Method
Preparing the Plums
- 1
Compress the Plums
Slice the plums in half and remove the pits. Place them in a vacuum-seal bag and vacuum-seal until compressed. If you don’t have a vacuum sealer, you can place them in a heavy dish and press down with another dish to compress.
Making Burnt Honey
- 2
Prepare Burnt Honey
In a small saucepan, heat honey over medium heat. Continue to heat until the honey reaches a dark amber color, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Once darkened, remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Candied Serrano

Candy the Serrano Peppers
In a saucepan, combine sugar and water. Bring to a boil until sugar dissolves. Add sliced serrano peppers and simmer on low for about 10-15 minutes until the peppers become translucent. Remove from syrup and let cool on parchment paper.
