It's important to use ripe but firm plums here, and any variety will work well, whether you use black, red, or even pluots. They are much easier to halve and pit than super ripe ones, and don't worry - they will get beautifully soft and jammy in the oven as they cook. Since this is delicious served warm or cold, it makes for a great make-ahead dessert. If you don’t have whole cloves, mix ⅛ tsp ground cloves in with the sugar before you roast them. Skip the cookies and spoon over yogurt for a satisfying breakfast.
