Plums!

Big, red bowl of plums

The plums are finally ripe on our plum tree, and I harvested an entire big bowl-full off of  one branch, and there are still that many plums still on the branch – not to mention the rest of the tree!

The kids helped, and we’ll harvest some more over the next few days. I’ve invited some friends over on Saturday to get the rest of them!

Now, I’m looking up plum recipes. I’m going to adapt a couple of plum cake recipes I found, mixing them into one recipe, since I don’t have everything required for either. I’ll be sure to tell you how it comes out.

I don’t have the equipment to can, but I think I’m going to try to find some recipes for freezer plum jam.

Any other ideas? I have a ton of plums.
