Dried plums with garlic

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the ingredients. To prepare dried plums with garlic, we will need: plums, garlic, vegetable oil, herbs of Provence (I have a mill already with salt) and salt.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash the plums, dry them, cut them in half and remove the seeds. It is better to choose plums that are not soft, otherwise, when dried, one skin will remain from them.

   Place the plum halves on a parchment-lined baking sheet with the slice facing up.

4. Step 4:

   

   Sprinkle the plums evenly with salt and Provencal herbs on top.

5. Step 5:

   

   Put the plums in preheated to 100°From the oven for 2-4 hours, depending on the size and juiciness of the plums. I did two batches. The first one was dried for 3.5 hours, there was almost nothing left of some plums. The pulp evaporated, only the skin remained. The second batch was dried for only 2 hours.

7. Step 6:

   

   Peel garlic and cut into petals.
