Ingredients 4 ingredients

  1. one pound of fruit
  2. Plums
  3. Cut
  4. a pound of sugar

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.
  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  2. Cut your plums in two, and take out the stones.
  3. Make a paste, line your pie plates, put in a layer of fruit and one of sugar, in the proportion of three-quarters of a pound of sugar to one pound of fruit.
  4. Roll out some paste, cover the pies and bake them in a moderate oven.
  5. Leave an opening in the centre of the lid to allow the steam to escape while they are baking.
