cherry plum and almond
A baking challenge?
You bet.
How could I not. It looked delicious. The taste possibilities were endless, and it looked like just the thing to tickle The Monkeys taste buds.
Make it with local seasonal fruit, even better.

I’ve written down the changes I’ve made, but it will make more sense if you check out the original recipe first.
