Please test the sweetness of the juice first; it might be enough. Add the ground poppy seeds, ground brown rice, salt, sugar if desired, and a small glass of rum. Stir to combine, then stir in the quartered plums. Pour into a 26 cm ring tin lined with baking paper, shake until smooth, and place in a cold oven at 150°C for about 90-100 minutes. Use a needle to test. Allow to cool completely, then let it rest for a few hours. Caution! It’s very soft, but it’s tasty… Grinding poppy seeds can take up to 45 minutes, depending on the mill or press. My own recipe.
