1/2 TEASPOON OF CINNAMON
50G / 2 oz BUTTER
25G / 1 oz FLAKED ALMONDS

HALVE THE PLUMS AND REMOVE THE STONES ,( CUT LENGTH WAYS AND TWIST )
PUT THEM IN A TIGHT LAYER , SKIN SIDE DOWN OVER THE BASE OF AN OVENPROOF DISH
POUR OVER 2 SPOONFULLS OF SYRUP AND POP IN THE OVEN 200F FOR 10 MINS SO THAT THEY ARE JUST TURNING GOLDEN BUT ARE STILL FIRM TO TOUCH
WHILE THEY ARE ROASTING MAKE THE CRUMBLE , PUT THE FLOUR ,OATS , SUGAR AND CINNAMON IN A BOWL AND MIX TOGETHER CUT THE BUTTER INTO SMALL BITS AND ADD TO THE BOWL , MIX UNTIL THE MIXTURE IS CRUMBLY , ADD THE ALMONDS AND MIX IN .

Weemama thanks very much for that. We get a plentiful supply of plums off of neighbours so now I know just what to do with them. Never thought about using oats or maple syrup in crumble but once I've made it I'll let you know how it goes
