Plum duff

Jacqueline O'Donnell: Chef

Instead of throwing away any old bread and overripe plums you can use them for this recipe.

Ingredients: serves 4

 
Method:

  1. Preheat the oven to at 180C/350F/Gas mark 4.
  2. Chop the ginger and stew with the plums for 5 - 10 minutes in a pan.
  3. Pour into a baking tray. Cut the bread into triangles and arrange the bread slices on top of the plums.
  4. Beat the eggs and the cream together then pour this mixture over the plums and bread.
  5. Sprinkle the sugar over the top. Bake in the oven for 15 - 20 minutes until puffed up and golden brown on top.
  6. Serve straight from the oven with some vanilla ice cream or custard.
