INGREDIENTS

1 c Waiheke Red Ruby Gin

3 bay leaves

METHOD

Fill your pan with the whole plums. Sprinkle brown sugar and salt over the top, tuck in the bay leaves and drizzle the gin over the top.

Roast at 220°C for 20 - 25 minutes until the syrup in the bottom of the pan is thick and the plums are nicely roasted.

Dust with cinnamon and serve bubbling to the table with lashings of ice cream.
