    Ingredients
    8 lbs (3.5 kg) ripe plums
    3 x 8-oz pkgs (3 x 225-g pkgs) light cream cheese, softened
    1/4 cup (50 mL) orange juice
    1 1/2 cups walnuts, chopped (optional)
    Method

    1. Wash the plums well and pat dry.

    2. Mix the cream cheese, orange juice, and walnuts.

    3. With a knife, cut along the crease of each plum, around the complete plum. With a hand on each side of the plum, twist slightly. The plum should divide in 2 and the seed should easily be removed.

    4. Place 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the cream-cheese mixture on the flesh of half of each plum. Put the other plum half on top, like a sandwich. The cream-cheese mixture should ruffle out at the sides.
