It’s plum season baby! I love plums, they feel like the perfect gateway to autumn, they’re still fruity and fresh but slightly more substantial than other stoned fruits, they can stand up against a bit of spice and are lovely and tart. For this recipe you can use any plums you fancy, I had a mixture of Victoria plums, little yellow plums and greengages, I ended up using the yellow ones to decorate as they were the most even in size and easiest to peel and Victoria plums for the compote as they had the best flavour.
This week we’re keeping the flavours fairly simple with a nutty pastry, vanilla buttermilk pannacotta and a simple plum compote. If I’m being completely transparent, I made these into tarts because I don’t own any moulds suitable for panna cotta and I had some walnut pastry in the freezer which I knew would work nicely with the plums, but you can absolutely skip making the pastry and set the panna cotta and plum compote in a glass or mould instead for a significantly easier and faster dessert.
