What can I do with...

As we are currently on the way to an IVA, I am trying to eat out of the cupboards for the last 2 weeks of the month.

I have some wrinkly and soft plums and blueberries that a month ago I would have thrown away, I was thinking of stewing them to then add to yogurt, but not sure how to do that, any other ideas????????

HELP!

  • Use the plums in a crumble and the blueberries in muffins

    To stew just chop the fruit up small and heat in a saucepan with a bit of sugar until it all breaks down, you may need to add a splash of water to stop is sticking if your saucepan base is quite thin

    once you've stewed them they'll freeze nicely for you to use later on if you don't have ingredients to go with them. You could also make a regular victoria sandwich mix - stick the raw, chopped plums in a dish with a bit of sugar on top, but the cake mixture on top and bake for a lush easy pudding. We freeze blueberries/raspberries etc. raw, cook porridge, pop a few frozen berries in the bowl and pile the cooked porridge on top - they are nice and defrosted, but still whole when you get to them.
