Stewed fruit

Can anyone help me please? I have some plums that need using up and thought that maybe I could stew them and have with some ice-cream. The problem is...I don't know how to do it, is it as simple as simmering them?

    I slice them up with the peel left on and simmer them in a tiny bit of fruit juice (I use orange but any would do) to start off the juices. Only takes a few minutes at most

  • I have natural yoghurt, mix some stewed plums and sprinkle on oats. I take it to work most days, filling and guilt free!
