Decorative Display When cutting your plums, use a knife to cut a zigzag design along the edge. You can also put the ricotta cheese in a large cake decorating bag with a star tube for filling the plums. This makes for a much more elegant presentation if you decide to turn this healthy recipe into a course for your next dinner party.
