• Set a large skillet over medium heat. Add 5 plums, cut side down; sear until plums start to blister, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir plums on skin side with a wooden spoon. Sprinkle with sugar, and add one-third of the blackberries and one-third of the raspberries to the skillet.
• Cook until fruit begins to release juice, about 10 minutes more. Add Sauternes wine, 2 cups cold water, and salt to skillet. Mix well. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat to medium low; let simmer until fruit begins to break down and liquid is very flavorful, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat.

For the topping: Combine the flour, brown sugar, oats and salt in a large mixing bowl. Next, cut in the butter with a pastry cutter or two forks, making sure that the butter stays chilled so you end up with a crumbly texture. Mix in the chopped pecans and spread evenly over the fruit. Bake until crisp and golden brown, 25 minutes. Allow the crisp to cool 20 minutes. Serve alongside ginger gelato.
