For a richer flavor, consider browning the butter for the topping before melting it. Add a pinch of ground ginger or cardamom to the plum mixture for a warm, spicy twist. If you don't have Italian prune plums, other varieties like Damson or even regular plums will work well. Adjust sugar to taste based on the sweetness of the plums. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
