Your Questions Answered-PLUMS

Layne L. e-mailed us asking what to do with plums.  In our house, they don't last long enough to wonder. So, I'm asking for everyone's help. What do you do with your plums besides eat them raw? We'd love to hear your suggestions. By the way, her husband doesn't like plum sauce on pork and that's her only idea so far. (But, I think it sounds good. Anyone have a recipe?!)

Here is a recipe for Plum Crumble. Do you think your husband would go for that, Layne? I think it sounds so yummy. Probably both sweet and tart all at the same time. Mmmmm!
