Baked plums with cinnamon and honey

The only seasonal fruit growing in the UK in March seems to be rhubarb (and even that is technically a vegetable!). Last week therefore we bought some plums from South Africa (the very plums in the photograph). You can see that that they’re not the worst plums ever but they weren’t really juicy or sweet enough to be enjoyable on their own so we had them hot for pudding with honey, cinnamon and crème fraiche (it’s rather more of a serving suggestion than a recipe this one). I was pleased, as always, to have found another way to use up that leftover half tub of crème fraiche we always seem to have lurking in the fridge, taunting us with its use-by-date and threats of going off within three days of opening…
