Roasted Plums
6 Plums    Split in half, pit removed
1 ½ c Red Wine
½ c Granulated Sugar
1 Tbs Vanilla
2 whole Star Anise
1 whole Cinnamon Stick

Preheat oven to 300.  Place plums face down in a baking dish.  In a separate bowl, combine other ingredients listed above.  Once combined, pour over plums.  Bake for approximately 30-40 minutes or until plums are just starting to soften, but aren't mushy.  Remove and cool.  When plums have cooled, remove from juice and cut into large chunks(approximately halves).  Strain liquid mixture into a bowl and reserve red wine for later.  Place a few pieces of plums into a ramekin dish and add 3 Tbs of the reserved red wine.

Cinnamon Phyllo
1 pkg Phyllo Dough
2 c Granulated Sugar
½ c Cinnamon
2 sticks Butter, melted

Lay 2 pieces of thawed phyllo dough on top of each other.  Brush melted butter generously all over dough.  Combine cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle over buttered dough.  Cut the phyllo dough into 4 pieces.  Bundle each piece of the dough into a small ball.  Place one of the finished bundles into the already prepared ramekin with plums.  Bake at 350 for approximately 20-30 minutes or until the phyllo is a nice light brown and the plum mixture is bubbling.  Remove from oven and serve warm with whipped cream.

Whipped Cream
1 c Heavy Whipping Cream
1 Tbs Vanilla
3 Tbs Powdered Sugar

Whip all ingredients together into stiff peaks and serve immediately.
