Plum pie / Šljivopita (Traditional Bosnian sweet) with a modern twist

Amazing how something so simple can be so delicious! The recipe differs in various parts of Bosnia Herzegovina and here is one that is most common in Central Bosnia (with a bit of finishing touches from my end!).

Grease the pan with butter. Cut the plums in half, remove the seeds, roll them in flour, then arrange them on a baking sheet facing down. Cut a few smaller cubes of butter over the plums. Sprinkle them with sugar. If they are sweet, 3-4 spoons will be enough. Bake in a preheated oven (190C) for 25 minutes.

As I mentioned, depending on the parts of the country, someone pours sweet cream over the plum pie, some with whipped cream, some with cooking cream, some with milk, and I did the following: Before I started making plum pie, I made an agda (sweet syrup) that simmered while the plum pie was being prepared and baked.

Here's what you need for it: A cup and a half of water, half a cup of brown sugar (or plain), a few stars anise, Cinnamon stick, When the agda (sweet syrup) was well cooked I added a teaspoon of vanilla aroma. I served the plum pie with a spoonful of mascarpone cheese over which I poured a little agda (sweet syrup). It was amazing!

Šljivopita (Tradicionalno bosansko slatko)

Nevjerovatno kako nešto tako jednostavno može biti toliko ukusno! 
 
Recepti se razlikuju od dijelova BiH, evo jedan koji je najzastupljeniji u Srednjoj Bosni. Uz moju malu doradu. J
 
Pleh namastite puterom 
Šljive prepolovite, odstranite koštice, uvaljajte u brašno, pa poredajte po plehu okrenute prema dole. 
Narežite nekoliko manjih kockica putera preko šljiva. Pospite ih sećerom. Ako su slatke biće dovoljno 3 – 4 kasike. 
Pecite u zagrijanoj rerni (190) 25 minuta. 
 
Kao što sam spomenula, ovisno o dijelovima zemlje, neko poslije šljivopitu zalije slatkim kajmakom, neko vrhnjem za šlag, neko vrhnjem za kuhanje, neko mlijekom, a ja sam uradila sljedeće: 
 
Prije nego sam počela praviti šljivopitu napravila sam agdu koja se krčkala dok se šljivopita spremala i pekla. 
 
Evo šta vam je za nju potrebno: 
Šolja i pol vode, 
Pola šolje smedjeg sećera (ili običnog),
Nekoliko zvjezdica anisa, 
Štapić cimeta, 
 
Kada se agda dobro ukuhala dodala sam kašičicu arome vanilije. 
 
Šljivopitu sam servirala uz kašiku mascarpone sira po kojem sam prelila malo agde. 
 
Bajkovito!
