  Delicious made with our wild plums. Didn't bother stoning them, as the stones were removed when the cooked plums were sieved.

  The ice cream recipe was creamy and surprisingly easy, would work well with other stone fruit and berries. I really liked the flavour, which was quite rich and prunelike. My husband hated it however, and said it tasted like cough medicine, I think because it was reminiscent of dark cherry.

  This was the first recipe I did with my new ice cream maker and it is a great success! Absolutely delicious and very rich! Will make again when over run with Victoria plums from a friends tree.

  BEST. ICE. CREAM. EV-ER! My food rivals in the kitchen loved this, and that's saying a lot! This recipe can easily be converted by using different fruits aswell.

  Is there an error in this recipe? I used 300ml of water to stew the plums and after pushing through a sieve there was about a litre of liquid. My ice cream maker only has a 1.1 ltr capacity so I only added half the juice and the end product was ok. Should it have read 30ml of water?

  We try to keep our sugar consumption down, so reduced sugars to 75g each. It was still very sweet, and the texture does not appear to have suffered. Increased plums to 500g, my pot of cream was 300ml so used it all, and did not add any water (in view of Kay's comments). Produced enough to fill 2 x 0.6 litre pots, with some over. We will be making this again, possibly reducing the sugar still further.

  I found this recipe straightforward but time consuming and was left with a lot of washing up! I too questioned the reqirement for 300ml of liquid but discarded it all after stewing the fruit. This left me with the stewed plums in the sieve over an empty bowl which I then squashed the fruit through and got about 150ml of puree. I did also add the remnants of skin and pulp left in the sieve after squishing to add some texture. I just used caster sugar to stew the fruit. It is lovely and creamy (and a gorgeous colour) but not especially tasty. That's probably down to the fruit though. I'd make it again with tastier plums or a different fruit.
