Step 1

Gently melt the butter and sugar in a large frying pan then add the pecans and stir to coat. Tip out onto a piece of baking parchment to cool. Lightly whip the cream with the vanilla until it forms soft peaks.

Step 2

To assemble, crunch some meringues in the base of your dish. Add a layer of plums, some cream, more crushed meringue and then the remaining cream. Add more slices of plums, top with the pecans then drizzle over the pomegranate molasses.
