Plum fool

 Put the chopped plums in a pan with the caster and muscovado sugars and 200ml water. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and cook, stirring now and again, for 12-15 minutes until completely soft. Tip the mixture into a large sieve set over a bowl and press through as much of the fruit and juices as possible; discard any pulp and skin. Stir the lemon zest and juice into the fruit with a small pinch of salt. Leave to cool completely.
