Mother-in-Law's Eye

Wash the plums, remove the pits, and let them cook slowly with a few drops of water in a covered pan

Don't overcook; let them soften slightly

Wait for it to cool and fill with the following: bring the sugar and water to a boil and let it cook until it reaches the thread stage (this is when you can drop a small amount of the mixture onto a plate, and it should form a thread)

Let it cool

Add the eggs and reheat again

Stir constantly until the mixture comes away from the sides of the pan

Let it cool and then fill the cavities of the plums

Also grate some crystal sugar on top if desired.
