Plum/priming sugar question

[Shane Cowlishaw]

So have a porter fermenting away, and have stewed some plums that I was going to rack the beer onto after fermentation.

The thought has now struck me that these stewed plums (that have about 250g of sugar plus the sugar in the fruit) will be in the beer when I bottle it and likely lead to some serious explosions, correct?

Yeh... One thing you could do is to chuck your stewed plums into the fermentor at or towards the end of the fermentation and let the yeast chew on any sugar that is in them for a few days. Then you can prime for bottling like you normally do to get nicely carbonated brews.
