Serves 6

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cooking Time 10–15 minutes

Ingredients

2 kg dark purple plums (look out for the Laetitia variety)
½ bottle rosé wine
4-6 T brown sugar
2 T honey
6 ready-made vanilla meringues
Icing sugar, for dusting

Method

Cut the plums into large chunks, then place in a heavy-bottomed saucepan along with the wine, brown sugar and honey.
Simmer over a gentle heat for 10 minutes – the plums should stay whole.

Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
Spoon the plums onto a plate and drizzle with the syrup.
Serve each with a meringue and a sprinkling of icing sugar.
