Method

Simmer plums in 200ml water in a covered pan over medium heat for 15 minutes.

Cool the leather, cut into 3cm strips with a pizza cutter, and roll up tightly.

Spread the purée into the tin and bake for at least 10 hours until leathery.

Purée the mixture until completely smooth using a stick blender.

Cook the mixture uncovered for 10 minutes while stirring until thickened.

Mash the fruit and stir in the sugar and lemon juice.

Line a 33x23cm Swiss roll tin with baking parchment and preheat the oven to 50°C.
