Method

Serve cold ice cream in bowls, topped with the hot plums and cooking juices.

Bring to a simmer, cover with a lid, and cook for 6 to 7 minutes until the plums soften.

Add enough water to cover the fruit halfway, then add the cloves, cinnamon stick, and bay leaf.

Place the whole plums into a large shallow pan over a medium heat and sprinkle with both types of sugar.
