The plums themselves were very tasty after being marinated in the amaretto. The pudding, though, was a bit of a problem for me. Even as I was pouring it into the pan, I kept thinking it might need something, just not sure what. But I followed the instructions faithfully. The pudding was still very runny after 25 minutes, and I ended up cooking it longer. It ended up with a rubbery texture that we didn't care for and was bland, taking away from the very tasty plums. But all was not a loss - we loved the plums macerated in amaretto, and will be making them often to put over homemade vanilla ice cream. Yum!1Reply
