What can I do with 2lbs of plums?

Thanks for the ideas - I like the idea of stewing them to have with icecream and my kids would probably like it too!! I think I'll go with that. :j I couldn't think of anything other than plum sauce for duck!!
Thanks again!

Plum clafoutis...easy and delish!

There are lots of other ideas here too, although I reckon you could simplify some of them for everyday quickies!

chop them into halves/quarters, put in a dish cut side up, sprinkle with sugar, blob victoria sponge mixture over the top and bake.

I always give the same answer. Muffins. Plum and walnut. There's a wonderful recipe on the waitrose site. Best muffins I've made for long time, and I've made a lot of muffins!!

I stew them to eat for breakfast with yoghurt.

the French make a really nice plum tart, basically encasing the above in sweet, egg enriched (sable) pastry.

I've just watched the Nigel Slater programme and he made a hot spiced plum sauce with icecream - I loved the stewed plums and ice cream (as recommended on here!!) and I'm trying the spiced one next!!

Oops, sorry, it wasn't walnut it was ginger.

I also used the same recipe to make nectarine muffins which were equally successful and helped us get through a 2 1/2 hour staff meeting recently.
