What to do with plums?

UncleWede · 06-25-2008, 05:10 PM

Besides make prunes, or feed them to the chickens? Anybody here with experience making wine? Would I be wasting my time/money trying that?

I would use them to make some slivovitza or also known as rakija(plum brandy) about 90 proof.

Prune juice is awesome!!! They're so awesome that they're so expensive as heck these days, more expensive than a litre of premium gas. I wouldn't drink it for constipation reasons but other health reasons I wouldn't discuss because I want to keep it a secret.

We have SO many right now I can't eat them all, plus the peach and apple trees are just aobut to burst forth as well.

I checked around and you're *SUPPOSED* to leave plum wine in the bottle for at least a year before drinking, so that may not work either.

I guess I'll just keep feeding the dropped ones to the chickens.

Plum pudding, plum sauce, plum jam, plum cobbler, plum pie

Try google 'plum recipe'

Give them away to friends, or at work.

Unfortunately, somebody beat me on the work thing, there's a bowl of them gathering flies in the break room already. Try to bring a bag to every baseball practice, but that only gets rid of 3-4 at a time. Gonna have the cleanest chickens in the west!

You can:
barbecue it
boil it
broil it
bake it
sautee it
There's, um... Plum kebabs
Plum creole
Plum gumbo
pan fried
deep fried
stir fried
There's pineapple Plum
lemon Plum
coconut Plum
pepper Plum
Plum soup
Plum stew
Plum salad
Plum and potatoes
Plum burger
Plum sandwich
.... That's, that's about it.

Depends on how much you have. If you have a pluthera of plums, find a farmers market and sell/give them away. Better yet do the feel good thing and drop it off at a shelter.

The local Food Share I normally support is a bit sketchy on backyard produce, but I'm going to try to get my dad to take some in since he's on the Board there.
