Ingredients

For the bread layer :
10 slices wheat bread, each cut into triangles
2-3 tbsp honey
5-6 tbsp chopped or slivered almonds
1 1/2 cup milk

For the sauce :
15-18 plums (small to medium sized)
17-18 tbsp honey

Method :

For the sauce :
1. Wash the plums and stone and chop them.
2. Mix the chopped plums and honey and keep over low heat. Cook for about 10 mins till juices flow, stir in between. The plums should soften and must mix well with the honey. Set aside.
