1.
Begin by making the stewed plums. Combine the sugar, orange juice and 250ml of water in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer over a medium heat, then stir until the sugar has dissolved. Add the plums and stew for 15-18 minutes, or until they are soft but still keeping their shape.

2.
Once the plums are ready, combine the oats, milk and ground ginger in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, then stir regularly until the porridge reaches your desired consistency.

3.
Pour the porridge out into a bowl and top with the stewed plums and crystallised ginger.
