- 1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
- ¼ tsp ground turmeric
- 1 strip orange zest (about 2 inches), pith removed
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 pinch salt
For serving
- 1 tbsp fresh mint leaves, torn (optional)
Instructions

Combine the water, honey, Ceylon cinnamon stick, grated ginger, turmeric, orange zest strip, apple cider vinegar, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring once or twice, until the honey dissolves and the liquid is fragrant, about 2 minutes.

Add the plum halves cut-side down in a single layer. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until the plums are just tender when pierced with the tip of a knife but still hold their shape, 8–10 minutes.
