Ingredients

• 125 g kumquats
• 500 g red plums
• 120 ml water
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 40 g soft brown sugar

Procedure

Slice the kumquats thinly, about the width of a £1 coin. Quarter the plums and remove the stones. In a medium saucepan, heat the water with the cinnamon stick and sugar

until dissolved. Then add the kumquats. Bring to the boil, then cover and simmer for about 10 minutes. Add the plum quarters and return to the boil, then cover again

and simmer for 10-15 minutes until the plums are softened but still hold a good shape. Remove from the heat and cool. Serve lightly chilled.
