A glut of green plums...

[CustardLover]

I have one. Got two plum trees absolutely laden with them. I'm scared of jam/chutney since I read a short story in which the protagonist (accidentally) killed her mother with some jam which wasn't made/ kept properly sterile. So, cakes? Crumbles? Any suggestions/recipes are very welcome! Thx

Just a gentle bump.

I was going to say jam or chutney (currently cooking a batch of windfall apple chutney!).
How about you wash and stone them and stew them all up with sugar to taste, then freeze in batches - in freezer bags as they take up less room. Then you can defrost a batch at a time to make pies, crumbles etc throughout the autumn/winter?

Plum brandy?
