Wash the plums, halve them, and remove the stones. Place the spices in a spice bag. Add a little water to about 1/16 liter, and add the sugar. Cook the plums over low heat for about 20 minutes until soft. Puree one-third of the plums and pass them through a fine sieve. Mix with the remaining plums.

In Austria, this is a classic accompaniment to Kaiserschmarren (sweet pancakes), but it can also be eaten with Powdlpofesen (traditional Bavarian dessert).
