Plums.....I don't get it......?

[Stir Young]

OK, I can see eating 'em if someone gives you a few for free, but I just can't see spending good money for 'em.  So what's your take?  Am I just being a typical guy, or what?

[d's girl]

nope, I'm the same as you, Stir. But I am not passionate about fruit. Dairy. Now that's a different story.

[Stir Young]

My sis-in-law bought some and left them at my mother's house. Through the trickle-down theory, I was gifted a few.

You like yogurt? Cut up and mixed in yogurt-- yum. Or mashed up and spread on toast.

[Stir Young]

Thanks LB, those are a couple of good ideas.

Why, neighbor, that sounds plum good!!!

I know, but I couldn't resist.

Roast pork with Plum sauce - Trust me on this. Hot Damn.

For me, it all depends on the plum. I can sit and eat greengages or Italian prunes all day, and I even loved them when my grandma canned them. Mirabelles aren't bad; I freeze them when people hand me sacks of them, and bake them in a crumble in the winter. But the red ones with the clingy seeds make good compost. Or maybe sauce, nice idea, Snagg; you could cook it up and freeze it for cold-weather roasts. Fortunately I don't know anyone who grows them.

Try the crumble, Stir; it improves a lot of fruits.

[Stir Young]

Well, I only have four left now...I'll probably just choke them down and stop grumbling soon enough.

[Bob Stepp]

Don't choke and grumble at the same time.......bad combination.

I don't get lots of things, but plums isn't one of them.
They are delish!
As is or in a tart or a plum upside down cake or pork tenderloin with balsamic plum reduction...
