Step by Step Method
Step 1
Rinse plums and then slice them into wedges about 3/4 inch thick or so.
Step 2
Over medium high heat heat a skillet and then add the butter. When the butter melts add the plums, sugar and cardamom. Increase heat and cook, shaking the fruit in the pan every 30 seconds or so until it colors (caramelizes).
Step 3
After about 5 minutes the plums will start giving up their juices. Continue cooking on high heat or until the juice just coats the fruit. Remove from heat and add the Grand Marnier (or orange flower water) and then place in a serving bowl, scraping in all the liquid from the pan.
Step 4
Allow to cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.
