5000 kilos of victoria plums

[Gingerbear]

my kindly neighbour has just given me an enormous quantity of lovely sweet victoria plums from his tree.
I don't want to do jam or chutney, so please anyone, any ideas what I could do with them all? (other than 2000 plum crumbles - and sell them to Mr Kipling)

freeze them halved and stoned sprinkled with sugar - then use them for crumble

Waitrose currently have a recipe card for a delicious cake with plums in -won't use up many though unless you make a cake the size of a football field

macerate in brandy and drink the liquor in the winter?

will try and find recipe

i made a nigel slater moist plum cake at the weekend the recipe is on the bbc food website

cake is DELICIOUS and easy although extermely fattening hence no weight watchers for me this am [bluhsh]

I like the cut of your jib Mrs Wong.
I will freeze some of them, although DD is making a good start - my little fruitbat has eaten loads already.

uh, will try again.
