My favourite is Plum Crumble - I use the following recipe for Rhubarb Crumble and have substituted plums:

2lb (900g) plums - washed, halved and stoned

6oz (175g) golden caster sugar

1 level tsp ground cinnamon

Zest and juice of half a lemon

3oz (75g) plain flour

3oz (75g) medium oatmeal or porridge oats

30z (75g) chilled butter, cubed

Cook the plums over a medium heat with the cinnamon, lemon juice/zest and 3 1/2 oz (100g) of the sugar.  Approx ten minutes or until the plums are just soft but have still kept their shape.

Crumble topping - mix together flour and oats in a bowl.  Add butter and rub in until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.  Stir in the remaining sugar and cinnamon.  (I prefer to add a bit more cinnamon than stated in the recipe but it's up to you.)

Grease a 2 pint (1.1litre) ovenproof dish and place on sturdy baking sheet.  Spoon in the cooked plums.  Sprinkle crumble mixture on top.  Bake in preheated oven (Gas 7/220C or 200C fan oven) for approx 15-20 mins or until the crumble is golden and plums are bubbling hot.

Delicious!

Sorry I am at work so don't have the recipe with me but there is a gorgeous batter pudding you can make with plums called a clafoutis - sure there's a recipe on the web somewhere. Mine is from the Cranks Bible.
