No. 2654 — Vareniki with Plums

Make the dough as in recipe No. 2652. Scald 1½ pounds of ripe plums with boiling water, remove the stones and halve them. Put into a saucepan with ¼–½ glass of fine sugar and stew, constantly shaking the pan to prevent burning.

Let cool and fill the vareniki with the plums, without adding the syrup; boil the dumplings. To serve, heat the syrup remaining in the pan with up to 1 glass of water, another ¼ glass of sugar and a piece of vanilla, and pour over the vareniki.
