- Bake on the centre shelf of the oven for 40 minutes, turning plums over after 20 minutes.
- Remove from oven and strain liquid into a small saucepan.

Steps:
- Stir the sugar into the marsala.
- Place the whole plums in an ungreased baking dish, lay in the cinnamon sticks and the vanilla pod and then pour over the marsala mixture.
- Bake at 180C for about 40 minutes.
- If you like a thicker sauce you could also mix a bit of cornstarch into the sauce before baking, but I like it runny.
- Serve with a dollop of greek yoghurt or ice cream on top.
- It's also good mixed into rice pudding.

Steps:
- Halve, stone and quarter the plums and put to one side. Heat the butter in a large pan with the spice and muscovado sugar for 1-2 minutes, until the butter has melted. Tip in the plums, zest and port and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring until the sugar has partially dissolved. Remove from the heat.
- Preheat the oven to 200C/gas 6/fan 180C. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface and trim to a rough 38cm round. You don't have to be too neat. Lift up the pastry by draping it over a rolling pin and then laying it over a large baking sheet. The pastry should be too big, with a lot hanging over the edges.
- Sprinkle the ground almonds over the pastry to within 7cm of the edges. Pile the plums and their juices over the almonds, then flip the overhanging pastry over the fruit, leaving a big hole in the middle. There's no need to be too fussy - as long as the steam can escape and the fruit shows, it will be fine. Brush the pastry with the beaten egg and sprinkle the demerara sugar over the top. Bake for 30-40 minutes until golden.
- A few minutes before serving, gently heat the custard in a pan, then stir in the marsala or sherry. Serve the pie with lingering warmth and the custard.

PLUMS IN MARSALA
Steps:
- First place the plums, vanilla pod and cinnamon sticks in the baking dish, then mix the Marsala with the sugar and pour it over the plums. Now place the dish on the centre shelf of the oven and cook for 40 minutes, uncovered, turning the plums over in the Marsala halfway through the cooking time. Then remove the baking dish from the oven and strain the plums, discarding the vanilla pod and cinnamon sticks, and pour the sauce into a medium-sized saucepan. Bring it up to simmering point, then let it bubble and reduce for 5 minutes. Now mix the arrowroot with a little water in a cup to make a paste, then whisk this into the liquid. Bring the sauce back to simmering point, whisking all the time, until it has thickened slightly and is glossy - about 5 minutes. Then pour it back over the plums and serve them hot or cold.
