What can I do with 2lbs of plums?

mrs_baggins

thanks to the ideas since yesterday I have now made 2 jars of plum chutney, some plum sauce for a stir fry or something and have just put in some fruit leathers with apples and plums into my new food dehydrator. This is supposed to be my week off!! Along with doing all that I have been to gym been to lottie and am now ready to sit down with a nice cuppa!

I bought 3 lots of whoopsied plums on monday..... Now whilst i only paid 20p a punnet of them. I dont think i am being very MS ..because i have no idea what to do with them now ?

I have had a quick look through my cooking books but i cant seem to find anything to do with them apart from just eat them which i am sure i would pop if i did that.

Can anyone help ? with any yummy receipes

stone and quarter them, put in a pan with some sugar and a few tablespoons of water and heat gently, whne they start to break up and soften put them in a bowl and top with microwave sponge pud recipie then cook, plum pudding, lubberly, or add some star anaise and pepper to the plum mix when heating and serve with roasted duck

Hi chocolate.orange,

I got some reduced plums last night and I'm going to use them to make plum vodka Even if you don't like vodka it makes a lovely sweet liqueur.

There's an earlier thread with lots more ideas so I've added your thread to it to keep the suggestions together.

Off to read the rest of the thread too to see what other plum goodies i can make. So thankyou for moving it for me. I did try and search but i am not very good at this searching lark lol

i bought what i thought was a tray of plums in the market for £1 but on checking them there is a tray below them as well so i had 3 dozen :eek:
i have given some away and now need to use up the rest .
so does anyone have some easy recipes for me please to now use up 2 dozen ripe plums

Plum crumble (any crumble recipe with plums instead of other fruit - you can also mix with apples to stretch further).

Plum pie (like any other pie but with plums inside)

Plum compote, cook plums with a bit of water and sugar and a squeeze of lemon, then put on cereals (cold) or eat with cream or ice cream)

Hope this will sort your stash, but I am sure more people will give you more ideas!
