Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4.
- Put the plums into a saucepan with the orange zest and juice and cinnamon. Add 5 tablespoons of water and simmer until the plums are tender – it should take about 10 minutes.
- Add the artificial sweetener gradually and taste it as you do.
- Brush a 15cm straight sided baking dish or cake tin with the low-fat spread.
- Brush the rest of the low-fat spread lightly over the slices of bread. Place one slice in the base of the dish you’re using, reserve one slice for the top and then fit the rest of the slices around the sides. Ease them into place so that they fit nicely and cut any leftovers to fill in any gaps.
- Spoon in the plums and place the remaining slice of bread on top, folding the bread around the sides over to enclose the plum filling.
- Bake in the oven for 30–35 minutes. Allow the to cool for a few minutes and then serve.
