Fri, 11 Jul 2003 20:02:55 -0400

Here is a great dessert for late summer, early fall when fresh Italian or German prune type plums are in season along with the first apples, but the weather is still warm. Apples and plums together are wonderful! Somehow better than either alone. -- posted by Jenny Sanders

California Plum Crisp

I love that there are only 4 ingredients! The tag line on the recipe says "...spread on crackers with cream cheese or as a dipping sauce for grilled chicken." -- posted by Mrs Goodall

Now I'm really trying to find some Diabetic friendly recipes for my mom this Thanksgiving, so I'd like some help in judging this one, also found at epicurious. I've put Splenda in place of brown sugar, but it could easily be exchanged for the same amount of real brown sugar! -- posted by Indigo!

Rustic Plum Cake

Fri, 21 Sep 2007 20:49:20 -0400

Recipe from Cook's Illustrated. Italian plums work the best. Bought a lot of Italian plums at the farmer's market, so I had to make a few cakes and then freeze most of them. Freezing the cakes didn't seem to hurt the flavor at all. Now all I have to do is pop one out of the freezer when I'm in the mood for a delicious plum cake! -- posted by Pi-E

Plum Torte

Fri, 15 Aug 2008 18:24:02 -0400

My friend gave me boxed of Japanese plums from her plum tree and I've been finding ways to enjoy them. This torte can be served for breakfast or dessert topped with a bit of ice-cream. The plums keep it from becoming too sweet. What I especially enjoy about this cake is that it is a perfect cake to freeze and bring out at a later date when you will appreciate a taste of summer. I haven given this cake to neighbors, friends, and family members and everyone loves it. You can also use other stone fruits if you would like. If you do not have a spring form pan, you can line a 9 inch cake pan with foil leaving an overhang over the edges of the pan. Oil the foil generously. Use the foil to "pull" the cake out of the pan when ready. From Cooking for Comfort. -- posted by cookiedog

Plum Raspberry Jam

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 15:15:41 -0500

So easy and so delicious! This jam is sweet with just a hint of tartness. For Christmas I gave out pint jars with home-made mini loaves of bread to my co-workers, after Christmas break they all said it was the best jam they had ever had, a few even asked if they could buy some from me because it was already gone!!! -- posted by Rollin in the Dough!
