Plum pudding is the perfect summer-meets-cosiness dish.
This idea for this recipe started with a big bag full of plums, and a desire for a hot, saucy, fruit-forward dessert that wasn’t so heavy as a buttery crumble or dense cobbler.
Sponge puddings are the happy medium!
This pudding draws a feeling of cosy evenings inside, rugged up
with a hot drink and a bowl of spongy, saucy pudding; simultaneously with lazy summer evenings outside, with a glass of wine and a bowl of spongy trifle, custard and fresh fruit.
It really is a dessert for all seasons.
As with most fruit desserts, you can really use what’s in your fruit bowl - use tinned or frozen fruit in winter; any stone fruit or berry will work well.
