I've can remember going to stay with my grandparents as a child and having a lot of stewed fruit.

I bought some plums today and stewed them. Then I added some oats. It was delicious.

There was a glut of plums near me this year, I picked 2 large carrier bags full!!

I made stewed plums, plum crumble, plum jam (which didn't work) a plum and almond tart (yummy) and also put a load in vodka with sugar for yummy flavoured vodka.

I can do with out plums for a while!!!!

Plums are like tomatoes for me. I love the flavour - plum sauce tomato sauce etc but hate plums and tomatoes themselves

Made good wine from plums though

Is that the one with marzipan and puff pastry?

One of the few puddings I do, I'm more of a savoury cook, but that one is delicious.

No, no marzipan involved. Just a pastry case (shop bought) make the filling out of 200 grms each of sugar, ground almonds, butter and 2 eggs., pour in the filling press in the plum halves and bake.

T'was yummy and very easy, I really want to try it wit other fruits like cherries or pears.

I think if you mix almonds, sugar and eggs you will end up with something very similar to marzipan

If you say so, but if Delia uses eggs then so would I.
