A Bowl of Sunshine

After feeling thoroughly snogged by the sun this weekend (as opposed to kissed), we are now back to default rain.


Luckily,  I have these to remind me.  Gathered from the roadside, deliciously sweet and juicy yellow plums.  I fear that eating them all as is, might result in a few unscheduled trips to youknowwhere, but other than that, I have absolutely no idea what to do with them.  Any ideas?

    Plum crumble with custard - yummy. Make several and freeze for a taste of summer in the depths of winter.

    gasp... they look gorgeous.

    What about plum chutney. Yum. I have to say I always turn to chutneys in a glut. I like the look of this one: http://www.channel4.com/food/recipes/spiced-plum-chutney-recipe_p_1.html

    I am another chutney fan. I have a really nice recipe for a plum and apple chutney... poke me for it if you are interested. Plums in brandy is also a favourite... and then just freeze the rest after you have stoned them ready for crumbles through the winter :-) x

    Have you ever made any of HF-W's patented rhubarb cocktails (you pour the syrup off a pan of stewed rhubarb and use it as the base for cocktails)? Anyway, he reckons you could do exactly the same with plums. Plum bellini sounds like a cool plan, especially if the sun manages to peek out again this 'summer'.

    I've never had yellow plums :( but I bet they'd make a delicious jam!
