mamapjama Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Our tree was covered in plums last night so we went picking! Last year we may have had a dozen. This year we picked two huge stock pots full and there are more left to ripen. So now what do I make? If it is a jam recipe, I have never done the hot water bath method and haven't got a clue how to do it or have the proper materials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobela Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 My grandmother would peel them and take the seed out. Then she would make plum cobbler. YUM! I don't have the recipe, but I remember loving it. Any extras she would freeze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 There are some nice plum cake recipes; the sour skin (and its beautiful purple color) make a nice cake. http://simplyrecipes.com/tag/Plum might give you some ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie in CA Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I made this recipe yesterday: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Plum-Blueberry-Upside-Down-Cake/Detail.aspx I used plums and nectarines, added 1/2 t cinnamon to the cake batter, and baked for 60 minutes rather than 40. It came out perfectly! :drool5: BTW, I think one of the reviews mentioned that if froze really well, so you could make more than one, and save one for the grayer days of fall when the summer fruits are all gone. ETA: You shouldn't have to do a water bath for jam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpidarkomama Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Chinese plum sauce! Last year, I wish I'd made 10x the amount I did. It was so delicious. You can make it on the stove or in the crockpot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen in PA Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I use them to make a plum crisp, using the same topping I make for apple crisp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamapjama Posted August 20, 2010 Author Share Posted August 20, 2010 Thanks everyone! I had 40 cups of plums this morning :) They were the small plums so that was a lot of pits! I made lots of jam and an applesauce plum concoction. The cake and cobbler are next on my list as well as a pie tomorrow. alpidarkomama do you have a recipe you could share ? please :) Thanks!
