Recipe ingredients

9 fresh California plums, halved and pitted
1/2 cup (125 mL) sugar*
1/2 cup (30 mL) cornstarch*
1/2 Tsp.(2 mL) Irresistibles cinnamon*
Oil for frying
Powdered sugar for sprinkling (optional)
Pecans or walnuts, chopped

Preparation

Purée plums in blender or food processor to measure 2-1/2 cups (625 mL).
Combine with sugar, cornstarch and cinnamon in small saucepan.
Cook over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes or until plum mixture thickens.
Cool thoroughly.
Reserve 1/2 cup (125 mL) plum sauce.
Spoon about 1/4 cup (60 mL) of remaining plum sauce into center of each tortilla.
Fold in bottom and two sides of each tortilla cover filling, then roll tortilla around filling.
Heat 1/4-inch (0.5 cm) oil in small saucepan. (To test oil, dip edge of tortilla into oil; if it sizzles, oil is ready.)
With slotted spoon, place tortilla, seam-side down, in saucepan.
Fry about 1 minute on each side or until golden and crispy.
Drain briefly on paper towels, then transfer to serving plates.
Sieve powdered sugar over each tortilla, if desired.
Spoon remaining plum sauce over top and sprinkle with chopped pecans.
Serve hot.

Suggestion

Sometimes tortillas are a bit stiff when you purchase them. To make more pliable, steam briefly (uncovered) on a rack over skillet of boiling water.
