Couperwife Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I have been given a huge carrier bag full of Plums (well I was given 2, but I managed to pass one off to SIL - she thought she was only getting a few plums ) so, what the heck am I going to do with them all. there is only so much jam I can eat and SIL will also be doing jam. so, any ideas welcome cathy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Bake them, they are delish! Halve the plums & de-stone & place in and oven proof dish with a drop of water, add brown sugar and amaretti or brandy. Bake until soft and serve with ice cream, cream or yoghurt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperwife Posted September 1, 2008 Author Share Posted September 1, 2008 Ooh, lovely, ill try this can you freeze them if you cook like this? it sounds lovely, but I really do have a lot (I gave my neighbour 4lb and it hardly made a dent ) cathy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I've never tried freezing them like this as they dont usually last that long However i dont see why not & might try this as i have about 10 plums left over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Webmuppet Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 You could always make Nigel Slaters plum cake, that uses 16 plums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 You can freeze plums - but you have to cook them from frozen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milly Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Plum crumble? (which you could make and freeze if you are sick of the sight of them now). Or chutney. We have had practically no plums this year, it must have been the wrong kind of weather in spring when they would have been flowering.

Blackrocksrock Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 I made the old doverhouse chutney 2 years ago - it was delicious - a delia one with tomatoes and plums - wish I had loads again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 I have just been given a great big bag of plums by my sister. I shall be jamming this week. She tells me that she has some quinces about to ripen too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
