Clajoutis aux prunes ou aux cerises de Bramafam

• 1 pound (450 g) fresh ripe plums or cherries
• 5 tablespoons

Wash the plums, halve them, and remove their pits. If you are using cherries, wash and pit them and slice them in half. Place in a medium-sized saucepan with the water and 2 tablespoons of the sugar and cook over medium-low heat, partially covered, for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Uncover the pan and cook for another 10 minutes or so. The fruit should reduce to a tender compote. Set aside
