Hello, beautiful Hive Food community! It is a pleasure to be here today to share with you an uncommon recipe, but one that is considered a delicious dessert in my region. This recipe requires few ingredients, the main one being the plum. I want to clarify that I am not referring to the intense purple plum that many of us know, but to a variety that is grown here in Venezuela. During this hot season, we begin to harvest it. Its flavor is sweet and juicy, and its color is red. However, sometimes we prefer to consume it when it is half-ripe, at which time it acquires a wine-red tone. In my case, I will use these half-ripe plums. I invite you to follow this delicious preparation of this sweet! Now, let's get to the kitchen and join me!

It is important to mention that this preparation does not contain sugar, since I consider that the paper will provide the necessary sweetness. First, I want to melt the paper and allow the cloves to release their essence. This process will take a while

I let it cook for an hour, considering it was made in the crockpot. However, on the stove the process is much faster, since this sweet does not require much cooking time. After it was ready, I let it rest at room temperature and, once that time had passed, I placed it in the refrigerator.
