Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
2 pounds of Pluots, split in half and pitted

¾ cup of honey
1 tablespoon of orange zest
sprig of thyme
1 cup of sugar
1 cup of heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon of confectioners' sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
Directions:
Poach pluots:
Combine wine, honey, orange zest, and thyme in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Add pluots in a single layer (poach in batches according to how many your saucepan can hold) and poach until your desired softness (usually about 5-10 min.) Set aside to cool. Strain & reserve poaching liquid.

Caramel Sauce:
Add 1/2 cup of reserved poaching liquid and 1 cup of sugar to a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook until it just starts to smoke and develops that perfect caramel scent (normally you can tell by the color, but the poaching liquid darkens the sauce & your nose is your best judge of doneness). Slowly and carefully add another 1/2 cup of reserved poaching liquid to the caramel to thin it out (be very careful, hardly any burn is worse than a caramel burn!). Stir to combine. Strain any sugar chunks out of sauce & reserve.

Whipped Cream:
Combine heavy cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl and whip to soft peaks. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve pluots.

Place 2 pluots in small bowl, pour caramel sauce over the top, and cover with a spoonful of whipped cream.
