Total time: 25 min
Yield: 6
Ingredients: 12 medium (1kg) plums, halved, seeds removed; 1/3 cup (80ml) water; 1/4 cup (55g) raw sugar; 400 millilitre thickened cream; 1 tablespoon icing sugar mixture; 2 teaspoon finely grated orange zest; 1 tablespoon orange juice; 80 gram meringues, crushed

Ingredients

12 medium (1kg) plums, halved, seeds removed

1/3 cup (80ml) water

1/4 cup (55g) raw sugar

400 millilitre thickened cream

1 tablespoon icing sugar mixture

2 teaspoon finely grated orange zest

1 tablespoon orange juice

80 gram meringues, crushed

Method

1.Preheat grill.

2.Place plums, cut-side up, on a shallow-sided oven tray; pour measured water into tray. Sprinkle the plums with sugar, then grill until browned lightly. Cool.

3.Meanwhile, combine the cream, icing sugar, rind and juice in a medium bowl.

4.To assemble, layer the crushed meringue, orange cream, plums and plum syrup on a serving platter or in individual glasses.

Adding water to the oven tray before grilling the plums acts as a base for the plum syrup – the colour from the plum skin combined with the excess sugar makes a syrup that can be drizzled over the plums.
