Ingredients
450g dark skinned plums, halved and stoned
50g sugar
25g redcurrant jelly
2 tbsp water
125g Asda lighter mascarpone
150ml double cream
2 meringue nests
Method
1
Put the plums in a saucepan with the sugar, redcurrant and 2 tbsp water. Cover and cook over a low heat for 10 – 15 minutes until really soft, stirring occasionally.
2
Tip into a bowl and leave until completely cold, then chill. Add the mascarpone and mash with a fork to make a rough purée.
3
In another bowl whip the cream until it just holds its shape. Break the meringues into small pieces but don’t crush them.
4
Fold the cream and meringue into the plum mixture. Divide between 4 glasses and chill.
