Plum fool
for 4 people
The' natural sweet-sourness of plums make them an excellent fruit to use for fools. I only add a little sugar to the plums, but if you want a sweeter finish simply add a bit more sugar. This fool recipe is very quick to make, so get the kids involved — they can assemble their own, and pop them in the fridge until dinner time.
Ingredients
| 600 g | Plums (Main) |

- Dice the plums and remove the stones.
