Black Doris Plums in Syrup

Generations of Kiwis have loved Black Doris Plums. Wattie's makes sure this continues, picking only the finest plums from Hawke's Bay orchards.

Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 160°C. Line the base of a 23cm loose-bottomed cake tin with baking paper. Halve the Wattie's Black Doris Plums and remove the stones.

Step 2

Mix ground almonds, butter, caster sugar, self-raising flour and eggs in a food processor or with electric beaters until the ingredients are combined. Press two thirds of the mixture over the base of the cake tin.

Step 3

Drop spoonfuls of Craig's Black Doris Plum Jam over the mixture and then place the plum halves on top.

Step 4

Dot the remaining shortcake mixture over the plums. Sprinkle over the sliced almonds.

Step 5

Bake for 55-60 minutes until cooked and golden. Cool in the tin before removing.

Step 6

Serve dusted with icing sugar.
