 Mock (United States) says:
Wasn't sure what to make with my canned plums. This was a very pleasant surprise. Well drained the canned plums, but the dough was still very wet, which contributed to about double on the baking time, not a problem. We love the flavor, the texture, and will definitely be making again. The orange flavor would also pair nicely with some cinnamon or clove, but its not necessary. This recipe is a keeper!
