We had good amount of plums this year and picked them early to beat Squirrels and Jays to it. It worked. They ripen well inside and I baked several deserts and a sauce for morning pancakes.

I made plum cake today too, mine is on a sponge base and we had it with clotted cream. I could feel my hips growing :o)
one of my favourite fruits.

Is there enough to go around, please? Looks delicious, Klahanie. I’d have it with clotted cream as per Eileen, or Cornish ice cream!
I, too, like baking with plums…soft and full of flavour.

Look delicous. If we were all on the same continent, we could have a tasting party!

This look scrummy Klahanie! Does anybody remember Shirlytulip's plum cake? Its ages ago but I've always remembered how very very popular it was with all on goy!
Its been a poor season for plums here - Must be content with looking and imagining!

Looks delicious Klahanie. We've just picked our small apple tree and have stored them in cardboard boxes between sheets of newspaper. (In the small bedroom as the woodmice get them in the garage.)

The cookers will get used for apple crumble, apple pie, and apple sponge. The eaters, as an extra either for lunch with cheese or breakfast with porridge, or just as a snack on their own. The cooking ones, we peel and cut up then place in a plastic bowl with lid with some lemon or orange juice and cook in the microwave for a few minutes. Drain the juice, add a sprinkle of sugar then add to dish for crumble sponge or pie.
You could mix in a pear or two with apples for the same.

Our Howgate Wonder apples aren't ready to pick yet and they are enormous, so I won't need many of them to a pie Klahanie....
