Method

Line a 33x23cm Swiss roll tin with baking parchment and preheat the oven to 50°C.

Simmer plums in 200ml water in a covered pan over medium heat for 15 minutes.

Mash the fruit and stir in the sugar and lemon juice.

Cook the mixture uncovered for 10 minutes while stirring until thickened.

Purée the mixture until completely smooth using a stick blender.

Spread the purée into the tin and bake for at least 10 hours until leathery.

Cool the leather, cut into 3cm strips with a pizza cutter, and roll up tightly.
