This is an easy but very flavoursome dish. You need plums with a good flavour here. Victoria plums work well, but damsons, if you can get them, are truly delectable.

Ingredients:

1kg flavoursome plums
3 vanilla pods, split and with seeds removed
1 glass vin santo
500g sugar

Method:

Arrange the plums in a roasting tray. Split the vanilla pods and scrape the seeds into the vin santo. Scatter the empty pods over the plums then stir the wine to make sure the vanilla seeds are evenly distributed before pouring over the plums.

Scatter the sugar over the top, cover with greaseproof paper and then with a layer of aluminium foil (make certain to tuck this over the edges of the tray. Place in an oven pre-heated to 150°C (300°F/Gas Mark 2) for 45 minutes.

Allow to cool a little before serving with cream or ice cream.
