Orange-Glazed Roasted Plums


Ingredients: (Serves 4)

1 teaspoon grated orange zest or grated fresh ginger
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
3 tablespoons firmly packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons unsalted butter
4 medium plums, cut in half and pitted
2 tablespoons slivered almonds
1/2 cup fat-free vanilla yogurt





Directions:

1    Preheat the oven to 400°F. Coat an 8-inch square baking dish with nonstick spray.
2    Combine the orange zest (or ginger), orange juice, and brown sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Remove from the heat, add butter, and stir until melted.
3    Place the plums, cut side up, in the baking dish. Pour the orange juice mixture over the plums. Cover with aluminum foil and bake until the plums are almost tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
4    Baste the plums with the orange syrup and sprinkle with the almonds. Bake, uncovered, until the plums are tender and glazed, 10 to 15 minutes, basting once or twice. Serve the plums warm or chilled, drizzled with the syrup and accompanied by a dollop of yogurt.
