Peel the tayotas using a potato peeler.

Wash the tayotas and remove the inner core.

Cut the tayotas into small cubes.

Place the tayota cubes in a pot with water.

Add the cinnamon sticks to the pot.

Bring the water to a boil over medium heat.

Once boiling, add the plums to the pot.

Simmer until the tayota is tender but not falling apart, about 25-30 minutes.

Add the brown sugar to the pot, adjusting the amount to taste.

Cover the pot to allow the sugar to caramelize and thicken the mixture.

Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.

Once the mixture has thickened and caramelized, remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving.
