Using Damsons Instead Of Plums?

Hi Folks,

I have made this recipe before,
http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/plum_pudding_cake_75784
very successfully with plumbs, however have just been given a large bagful (760g) of damsons. I have just eaten a half of one (and stopped when hubby said "You'll have stomach ache - look it's green inside!") and it wasn't as sour (?) as I had imagined it would be. So as you can predict I am asking can I cook this same recipe with these? Should I put them in a brown ripening bag? Should I rinse them and sit them on a plate on the garden wall in sunshine to ripen them (hubby's suggestion) or should I use them as they are and just alter the recipe by adding more sugar to account for more sourness (scared about doing this because baking is chemistry and I know you shouldn't really "mess with" amounts otherwise you can bu**er it up!)

Many thanks in advance.

All suggestions gratefully received!

Kindest Regards

Mitchell

When you add sugar to the damsons you will end up with more "juice". The recipe will most probably end up being wetter.
