what to do with plums?

Ed Kim said:

i really like plums. so when costco had a big ol' box of plums for
(like) $5 i grabbed it. uhm... there's like 20+ plums in there! i eat
about 1 or 2 a day. i'm afraid that more than half of them will rot
before i get to them. so i'm asking for any good recipes (or other
uses! 🙂 ) for these plums.

Plum Clafuttie. Macerate sliced plums in brandy and then play them in the
bottom of a buttered baking dish. Cover with Clafutti batter and bake.

You don't say what kind of plums... but no matter, if they are good
fresh plums I'd eat them all fresh... plums keep very well
refrigerated. Twenty fresh plums is like three-four snacks... they're
nice diced into a bowl of vanilla ice cream... a big blob of whipped
cream can't hurt.

Take the seeds out of the ones you can't get to and dry them.

Makes prunes. ;-)

They can also be canned or made into jam/jelly.

A plum [censored] is lovely. A local restaurant that I love serves theirs warm
with cinnamon ice cream. Mmmm...I have made one before, and it was good,
but not as good as the restaurants. Epicurious has a boatload of plum
recipes -- lots of crisps, [censored], tortes, crumbles, and some savory recipes.
If I had that many plums, I'd spend some time looking through the plum
recipes on epicurious, and try one that has sounds tempting and has gotten
great reviews.

Can't make prunes from any old plums... gotta have prune plums, they
contain enouhg sugar to preserve them... other plums will rot.

Yup, but hardly worth the effort with some 20 odd plums.... gotta have
a bushel, at least a pecker.

Get a box of SureJell (pectin), a bag of sugar, and maybe a lemon, and
make plum jam. I don't recall how many pounds of chopped plums it
takes, but probably only about 3 or 4. The recipe is inside the box. I
made jam with some of those big juicy black plums with the yellow flesh
last year (bought them on sale at the supermarket and had too many to
eat fresh), and it turned out lovely.

Best regards,
Bob

Ed Kim, if you have a copy of "Emeril's New New Orleans Cooking",
there's a baby back ribs recipe(baked); which uses plums. Made it a
few years ago, and they were quite tasty and easy to prepare. Great
ribs for the plum lover. Worth a look see.

Plum sauce is a good way to use up plums.

For a plum dessert, try this, from the JOC.

Apple, Peach, or Plum Cake Cockaigne.
(this latter word is JOC code for 'one of our
family favourites'😉
I like Italian plums the best in the recipe, but
nectarines were cheap
and ripe, so this is what I used:
Dough:
1 cup all purp flour, sifted
sift again with
1 teas baking powder
1/4 teas salt
2 T sugar

work in 1 1/2-3 T butter

In a measuring cup, break an egg. Beat well, add
1/2 teas vanilla and
then enough milk to make 1/2 C total.
Press this dough into a greased 9 or 10 inch
round pan
Cover with 4 cups sliced fruit
Over this sprinkle
1 cup white or brown sugar
2 teas cinn (I much prefer 'true cinn' for this)
3 T melted butter.
Bake at 425 F for 25 minutes. I find it takes
longer, or the cake in the
middle may be rawish.
We had some vanilla ice cream with it.
