    Really unusual flavour, the star anise is really interesting. Lovely with greek yogurt.

    Delicious! So easy and very tasty. Used half honey and half maple syrup and served with vanilla ice-cream. Will definately make again!

    Made this recipe using mostly greengages and a few victoria plums and I used cinammon sticks instead of star anise as well. Served it with vanilla ice cream. It was gorgeous but very rich so you dont need a big bowl full. My hubby actually thought there was alcohol in it and was surprised when I told him there wasn't. I will definately make this recipe again.

    I used a lasagne tin and a single layer of plums (probably closer to 800 or 900 g) from trees in my garden. I also pitted the plums before I baked them. I used orange juice, since I didn't have fresh oranges, and cinnamon sticks instead of star anise. Served it with cold custard. It was lovely - my husband agreed even though he has bad memories of stewed fruit from his childhood. Next time I want to try it with star anise and fresh oranges.
