Mirabelle plums, those gorgeous little yellow marble-sized fruits you can often see growing in parks, are the perfect ratio of skin to fruit, albeit they are a lot of work to stone. If you can’t find them, use vanilla instead. The small, wrinkly beans have a musk-like perfume with hints of cherry and vanilla. Tonka beans come from Central America and used to be used as a vanilla substitute, but they are a delicious flavouring in their own right. The addition of one of my favourite flavourings, tonka, brings a welcome warmth. Yellow plums and greengages are delicately sweet and pair well with my rye crumble recipe here. I would recommend experimenting with different varieties here. Crumbles and crisps are another wonderful and totally easy way to bake with plums. ![]()
