Mojito Poached Plums

1. 1

   Muddle mint leaves with sugar. Place mint and sugar in a large saucepan with a pinch of salt and water, and bring to a boil. Stir until sugar dissolves.

2. 2

   Reduce heat to simmer. Add plums, lime juice and lime zest, and simmer until plum slices are softened, about 3 minutes.

3. 3

   Remove plums with slotted spoon. Increase heat and reduce syrup by about half. Pour syrup into a pitcher. To serve, put a scoop of vanilla ice cream in a bowl, spoon a few plum slices over it, and add a couple of tablespoons of syrup and about a tablespoon of rum (more or less--your choice).

4. 4

   Finish with a squeeze of lime juice, and garnish with a mint leaf.
