   Remove stones from plums.

5. 5

   Bring to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring frequently, until sugar melts.

6. 6

   Pour into a suitable container (I use a 20cm round cake tin), cover tightly with foil (or similar) and place in the freezer.

7. 7

   Leave for several hours until mixture is slushy and partially set.

8. 8

   Beat egg whites until soft peaks form.

9. 9

   Add sugar gradually, beating between each addition.

10. 10

    Gently fold beaten egg whites through partially frozen plum mixture.

11. 11

    Return to freezer, stirring occasionally (once or twice should do), until the mixture sets.

12. 12

    Serve in glass bowls with a little cream poured over (the cream hardens and makes a lovely topping!).
