Thanks to @yorkshirebylines.co.uk for publishing my latest recipe. It's a plum job! yorkshirebylines.co.uk/society/food... Hope you are having a great summer!
A dash of ginger for a plum job
In a delicious cake spiced up with ginger, juicy under a buttery crumble or simply stewed –plums are a versatile late summer treat
