Diana Henry’s End of Summer Plum and Berry Pudding Recipe with Plum Gin

I like several versions of summer pudding, most of them boozy. When the plums are still in the stores and we slide into autumn, sloe or plum gin is perfect in a late summer pudding. You can also use blackcurrants, if you can still find them, and frozen berries (frozen blackberries and raspberries are great and much cheaper than fresh). You may find that your plums are so tart that you need to add a little more sugar.
