Directions
Halve and stone the plums (or damsons). Mix the fruit with the lime zest and juice, sugar and grated nutmeg.
Melt the butter in a heavy based frying pan and tip in the breadcrumbs.
Cook over a mediun heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until all the butter has been absorbed and the crumbs are golden in colour.
Layer the fruit and crumbs in a buttered, oven proof dish finishing with a layer of crumbs. Press down with the back of a spoon to compact the topping and then fork up and sprinkle on the remaining sugar.
Bake in centre of the pre-heated oven for about 45 minutes until the plums are cooked and the top is crispy and brown. You will need to test the plums with a skewer.
Serve with clotted cream and a scraping of nutmeg.
