Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 ½ pounds plums, pitted and chopped
½ cup firmly packed brown sugar
¼ cup quick-cooking tapioca
¼ cup cream sherry
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup white sugar
¼ cup cold margarine
¾ cup crunchy wheat and barley cereal
⅓ cup finely chopped walnuts

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Mix plums, brown sugar, tapioca, sherry, nutmeg, and allspice together in a 9x13-inch baking pan. Let stand, stirring occasionally, until tapioca has softened, about 20 minutes.
Combine flour and sugar in a bowl. Cut margarine into small pieces and add to the flour mixture; cut in with a pastry blender or two forks until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in cereal and walnuts. Squeeze mixture into large lumps and coarsely crumble over the plum mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven until fruit is bubbling and topping is golden brown, about 45 minutes.
