I have a plumb tree. A wind storm passed through today and the kids picked a lot of green plumbs off the ground. They are not all that big, about the size of a large cherry. We have a bucket full of them. Is there anything I can do with them? It seems such a shame to throw them out?

Pickles?

The great thing about barbeque is that when you get hungry 3 hours later....you can lick your fingers

Avoid cutting yourself while slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them while you chop away.

I have a large quatity of pretty good size green (unripe) plums. I think the pickling suggestion is pretty good. How do I pickle plums? If anyone knows of a website, it would be hugely appreciated.

I'm pretty sure I once had greenplumb sauce (as opposed to green plumbsauce)

I say start experimenting and report in! With pictures!

I would try it like applesauce, just simmer whole in some water for while, put through the food mill, add sugar as necessary. I did this with the quinces from our tree out front, it was pretty good. Get a pack of gelatin and let it set up in a martini glass (everything looks good in a martini glass)

Godspeed Soup!
