Here's a couple of recipes that might be of use to you   :) :) :)

Plum sauce:

1kg plums, unpeeled, pitted, sliced
60ml water
50g sugar
A pinch of ground cinnamon

Method:

Combine plums and water in a pot or pan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring often.
Reduce heat, cover, and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 10 minutes or until plums are soft, stirring often.
Process cooked plums in a blender until smooth. Return to pan and add the sugar and cinnamon and bring to a boil.
Fill sterilized jars with sauce, leaving a bit of head space. Top with lids.
Place jars, slightly apart, in a boiling water. Bring water to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes.

Take jars out of the water and set aside to cool. Store in the refrigerator and use within one month.


Plum & Port sauce:

100g sugar
120ml water
500g plums, pitted, chopped
2tsp grated orange zest
2tbsp port
1tsp lemon juice
A pinch of ground cinnamon
A pinch of salt

Method:

In a large saucepan combine the sugar and water. Cook over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring, for 5 minutes.
Reduce heat and add the plums and the zest. Cook for 10 minutes, or until the plums are soft.
Remove from heat and cool slightly. Transfer to a blender and process until smooth.
Stir in the port, lemon juice, cinnamon and a pinch of salt.
Leave the sauce to cool and chill, covered, for 2 hours.

Not a sauce but a cake...I have made upsidedown cake with my golden gages.  Cut them in half around the middle (ie not longways) and remove th stone, place them cut side down in a shallow ovenproof dish.  Sprinkle with sugar to taste, or honey, then add a little water - about a couple of tablespoons, depending on how big your dish is. Cover with a layer of normal sponge cake mixture (weight of xxx eggs in butter, sugar and SR flour) then bake as you would a sponge.  Let it cool before turning out upsidedown on a plate.  Very pretty and tastes great.  I do it with stewed apples too - not so pretty but very tasty.

I make upsidedown cake with all sorts. It's great with tinned peaches. Bought a case very cheap from an auction a few years back :)
I also place two different ones with the fruit sides together & fill with fresh cream.    :yum: :yum: :yum:
