Nice one DP. Still got a sack full in the freezer, even after jam, gin and chutney! Got mummy over for the weekend so a nice gooey cake is definately in order! ;D

Well timed reminder DP. Just got loads off a lottie holder up the aisle to me, and was wondering what to do with them. Don't want my husband taking them all for wine. :D Thanks, busy_lizzie

Mimi, I have one in the freezer, There isn't anything in it that wouldn't freeze, so have bunged mine in!
The taste by the way has that nice sharp bite that plums give you, and would be lovely as a pudding with custard!

Roy, if I knew how to I would! ;D
