Summer in Melbourne is really strange, some days cold, some days very hot up to 45 degrees or more, this time of the year (January), even more strange. I still needed my heater early in the morning but needed an AC in the day time, when the sun getting strong...
Lucky me, in our new house we have a very good Ac and ceiling fan in some rooms, plus some fruits tree!! Yippie...
This plum i pick from our garden, don't know exactly when is the plums suppose to be harvest, hehe... when i pick these plums, they taste very sour, so i decided to make something nice than just eat them raw ( i was thinking to make a jam as well).
When i stumble with this recipe from my Donna Hay books, i definitely promised to my self to make it as soon i pick the plums (ending up the day after, hihi..). I thought to my self what the taste will be like, sour and very sweet chocolaty, Hmmm.. interesting and makes me drolling ;P
