Since these fruits do not all ripen at the same time in Ohio, I substituted a Honeycrisp apple for the berries and cherries and 6 Italian plums (~1oz each) for the 3oz plums (could have used more but I didn’t want to use them all for this recipe). I also didn’t have orange juice so I substituted apple cider. The fruit doesn’t really brown like I am used to when cooked on the stove with cinnamon and sugar which is OK, likely due to the lemon juice, but tasted a bit more lemony than I like so maybe half the amount next time. Also the plums didn’t cook up as much as the other fruit so maybe slice those thinner next time. I might try a cinnamon stick next time instead of a vanilla bean. Very nice seasonal topping to vanilla ice cream.
What is full power in an oven? A temperature would be nice.
Microwave oven...
