    Line a baking tray with baking paper and spray 12 equally long thick sticks onto the tray. Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: level 3) for 25-30 minutes. Do not open the oven, otherwise the eclairs will collapse. Wash, stone and cut plums into eighths. Bring plum puree, 50 g sugar and 150 ml water to the boil. Mix starch with 5 tablespoons of water, pour into the plum water while stirring constantly and bring to the boil. Add plum wedges and simmer for 4-5 minutes. Shortly before serving, whip the whipped cream until stiff, adding 50 g sugar and cream firming agent. Cut the eclairs lengthwise and fill the bottom half with plum compote.
