    This was lovely, very comforting to eat and extremely simple to make. Great for when plums are in season or when you grab some on special offer and realise that they probably won't ripen in to anything special!

    Really enjoyed this. It came nicely out of the bowl and looked gorgeous. Plums being out of season was a bit of a deterrent but you only need a couple of large plums. Having a warm pudding in the depths of winter is very comforting and this one is delicious.
