    Plum fool

    Once ripe, plums will keep longer if stored in the fridge, but they taste their best when eaten at room temperature. A good source of potassium and fibre, they also contain the antioxidant vitamin E, which protects your body tissues andcells from damage. Two plums count as 1 of your 5 a day.

    Cook's tip

    Plums really vary in their balance of sweetness and tartness, so add the agave nectar a little at a time until the fool suits your tastes.
