Would honey work rather than sugar ?

What do you reckon?

I genuinely don't know.

My one concern is that honey wouldn't handle the extended cooking time, and you could end up with a burnt / bitter end result.

Yes. Good point.

What about...........what about..

Cooking the plums with a little bit more water, reducing, and thickening. Then adding the honey and to reduce further to the thick gloopy stage, putting the saucepan in a larger pan containing simmering water. No direct heat.

Not hot enough? Honey is runny after all, maybe it would not be fast enough.

I do cook but I'm not a cook so any suggestions would help.
