Compote of Plums

Cut the stalks off short from the desired number of plums, prick them all over and drop them into a sugar-boiler of syrup simmering gently for five or six minutes, then pour into a basin the plums and syrup; place the plums in a compote-dish or case with their stalks upward arranged in good order, and pour over them a little of the syrup flavored with noyau, and serve.
