Cinnamon plums with French toast

This is a doubly gratifying recipe for the waste-averse: the French toast (a slightly fancier take on the eggy-bread of my childhood) is made with the remains of a loaf otherwise too stale to eat and the cranberry-sharp, cinnamon-scented compôte uses up plums that were bought more in the spirit of optimism than good sense. If you’re lucky enough to have a plum tree, this would gratifyingly use up a glut.
