We love this seasonal fruit, which can be enjoyed on its own or used to liven up any number of breakfasts and desserts.

1 vanilla bean, halved lengthwise, or 2 tsp vanilla (optional)
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup water

Instructions
PREHEAT oven to 375F.
SCRAP seeds from vanilla bean and rub seeds with sugar in a 9x13-in. baking pan. Add water, lemon juice and salt, stirring to combine.
ADD plums to dish, tossing until coated. Turn cut-side up.
ROAST, flipping plums halfway, until tender and juicy, about 25 min. Let cool in pan. Serve with our classic French toast recipe, Dutch baby pancake recipe, yogurt or vanilla ice cream.
