Add the plum halves cut-side down in a single layer. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer gently, uncovered, until the plums are just tender when pierced with the tip of a knife but still hold their shape, 10–15 minutes depending on ripeness. Do not boil vigorously or the plums will fall apart.
