Queen Garnet Plum Purée

How to make it:

Roughly chop the plums and place in a small saucepan with honey and water.

• Cook over medium heat for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the plums soften and break down.
• Blend with a stick blender or in a blender until smooth.
• Stir in lemon juice and salt to balance the flavour.
• Pass through a fine sieve if a smoother texture is desired.
• Chill before serving.

To use

Spread onto a serving plate, add creamy labneh, drizzle with olive oil and scatter fresh mint. Serve with crackers.

Justine’s tip:
“This purée is beautiful with cheese, roast meats or even spooned over yoghurt. The colour alone makes any dish look incredible.”
