Instructions:
- 100g/4oz skimmed milk soft cheese
- 1 tablespoon muscovado sugar
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 8 large plums, halved and stoned
- 8 sheets filo pastry
- sunflower oil for brushing

- Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 425°F/Gas mark 7.
- In a small bowl, mix together the cheese, sugar and cloves.
- Sandwich the plum halves back together using a spoonful of the cheese mixture.
- Spread out the pastry, and cut into 16 pieces, each about 23cm/9in square. Brush one lightly with oil, and place a second diagonally on top. Repeat the process with the remaining squares.
