Just four days ago, my daughter called out to me that our plum tree that’s right outside our kitchen window was covered in buds.

Plum Tree Blossoms It’s been a wreck of a day. Two of the kids have nasty colds, our television wouldn’t turn on and started smelling like burning something, my daughter dropped her cell phone in the toilet, my card reader died, my child support is still not in. But As promised, here are the results of today’s plum baking experiments. I made a plum bread that did not come out well at all. I may try again, but that recipe doesn’t bear posting! The cake, on the other hand, was fabulous. Here’s that recipe: Spiced plum cake

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!

I keep hearing from other people about how their plums are ripe and they are off making wonderful things with them. They have looked pretty much the same for a couple weeks now,  |
