Good recipe and easy to make. I was a bit confused by the directions that called for the brown sugar to be sprinkled over the sliced plums and then, on another line, said to blend the milk, sugar and vanilla flavor together. I opted to add the brown sugar to the milk mixture and did not sprinkle it over the plums (probably a bad choice as the plums were just a bit tarter than I would have liked), I might use a bit more sugar sprinkled over the plums next time. I added about a cup of toasted and coarsely chopped pecans, used 1 cup milk and 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream instead of 1 and 1/4 cup milk, and used Cherry Liquor instead of Brandy. It baked for 48 minutes in my oven before it was completely done. Topped with vanilla ice cream, it was a great dessert!
