    Plum Brown Betty

    Make the most of the different varieties of English plums available at this time of year. They are deliciously sweet, full of vitamins and add colour to puddings. This dessert can be served hot or cold and is ideal with freshly whipped Loseley Jersey Double Cream - a thick yellow cream from Jersey cows.
