Method
- For the parfait, heat the honey in a pan over medium heat, bring to the boil briefly, then set aside. Whisk the egg yolks and salt in a bowl for about 10 minutes until the mixture is quite firm. Stir in the honey. In a separate bowl, whip the cream until stiff. Fold in the orange liqueur and egg yolk mixture. Grease a loaf tin with oil, pour in the mixture, cover with cling wrap and chill in the freezer for 24 hours.
- For the mulled wine plums, pit and halve the plums. Place in a pan with the remaining ingredients and simmer for about 10 minutes to reduce a little. Remove the cinnamon stick. Arrange the plums on top of the parfait and drizzle honey over both to taste. Cut into slices to serve.
