I found beautiful plums at the farmers market. I thought this would be a perfect way to use them up and I wasn't disappointed. I couldn't find the liquor that it called for and used just a splash of very fruity red wine. It came out beautifullly and was served with coffee and a bit of french vanilla ice cream.

Fabulous. Used black plums, not much flavor to them going in, but wound up being delicious!!
Used Frangelico.

I made this yesterday for a dinner, and used frozen plums and raspberries, the plums defrosted slightly, and the raspberries were still frozen, turned out great except the skins of the plums were a little leathery , i would peel them next time unless someone has another idea. This is great news for winter baking of this dessert. The 1/4 cup flour for thickener was just right for a thick juicy sauce. Will make this again as I luv crisps of any kind and will add this one to the list. Thank-you Ina from Ena ;o

Excellent dessert. Made it following Ina's recipe. Very easy, everyone loved it. I prepared it in advance and reheated it half an hour before serving.

I made this with regular plums which maybe was the reason that it turned out with more liquid than I expected. Although it was still very tasty, I will add a little more flour next time unless I can find prune plums. I will also add a little less sugar with sweet plums.

Luckily I discovered this recipe while Italian prune plums were just coming in season. I used them the first time I made it and followed the recipe exactly. The only downside for me was that once we dug in, the filling gave off a lot of liquid, even though it bubbled up thickly during baking. It was delicious, however. I made it a few days later, using other fruits - peaches, black plums, apricots, and threw in a few pitted cherries and blueberries. I also added a sprinkling of cinnamon and nutmeg to the topping. This time, I doubled the amount of flour and the filling was much thicker, even though it still gave off liquid as it cooled. The colors using this assortment of fruit were divine! It made me wish company would drop in, and left me thinking about what upcoming event I could bring this to for a group to enjoy while these summer fruits are in season. I used Creme de Cassis, but think any fruit brandy or Chambord will work well. Yet again, thank you Ina!!

I made this dessert last night, and it was a huge hit! I couldn't find decent plums at the market, so I bought nectarines instead, and used spiced rum instead of the cassis liquor. It was PERFECTION. We even ate it cold the next morning for breakfast. : Thank you Ina, you never disappoint, especially in the sweets department!

This recipe is a family favorite! I have made it several times with plums, but I have also tried it with peaches (and peach schnapps and blueberries (with creme de myrtille I found the creme de myrtille at Bevmo. Delicious!
