Wine-Steeped Plums

In a pot, bring the sugar and wine up to a simmer with the cinnamon sticks and cloves, cooking until the sugar has dissolved. Pit the plums and cut them into quarters. Add the plums to the wine mixture and bring to a simmer. As soon as a simmer is reached, remove the pot from the heat and strain the liquid into a small pot. Reduce the liquid by half then return it to the plums.
