Lovely recipe, Costas. Damsons make the most delicious jam but this sounds gorgeous.

Damson jam is one of my favorites. And my mother always made a compote with damsons.

Thank you for sharing this. I love the addition of pears and nuts. The recipe I normally use doesn’t have either. This sounds quite nice and I’ll definitely try it!

Thanks for this, Costas. No damsons where I live but I think I will adapt this to some Pruneaux d'Agen brought to me by a traveling friend. Soaked in tea to plump them, it might work very well. And I'm happy to have the Sharlotka/Charlotka too--I've been looking for a good recipe for that Russian dessert. Will make with quinces.

With quinces it sounds wonderful, I love this fruit, it reminds me of my childhood.
