Ingredients
- 500g potato gnocchi

Notes
- Substitute damson plums with regular plums, cherries, or berries if needed.
- Adjust sugar levels to control sweetness.
- Toast nuts before adding for extra flavor and crunch.
- Add citrus zest to the gnocchi for a fresh twist.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Reheat gently in a pan with a splash of water or fresh compote.
