Stewed Plums Atop Oatcakes w/Ricotta

Oatcakes are the UK version of graham crackers: sweet, but not overly so, and somehow linked to good health even though they are essentially a cookie-cracker hybrid. This recipe similarly toes the line between sweet and savory, making it perfect to start a party, transition from dinner to dessert, or round out an afternoon cuppa tea or coffee.
