What can I do with 1.5kg of plums?

[StrongFemaleCharacter]

I could make a crumble but thinking of trying something different. I am not a natural baker so something easy please!

Jam

Agree with previous poster, plums have a lot of natural pectin so are really easy to make jam with.

Plum jam...... mmmmmmmmmmmm

Yes jam, or a quick google this one stands out to me www.daringgourmet.com/french-almond-plum-cake/#recipe

Jam baby.... make some jam.

This ice cream www.goodhousekeeping.com/uk/food/recipes/a37022844/plum-meringue-no-churn-ice-cream/

Plum jam is the best. But maybe something like a plum clafoutis for a pudding. Very easy.

Ooh thank you for reminding me to get plums out for a crumble later!

Years ago on here someone asked this question about mangoes (I think). One response was ‘Juggle!’ , after which it all kicked off.

Anyway, jam.

Chutney - Delia has a good recipe

I don't have any jam jars though 🙁

You could order some on Amazon?

Poach some plums, into a dish and meringue on top. Plums always give pink-red juice so when you put your spoon through the meringue and the pink juice spills out over, it looks so, so gorgeous.

Or plum paste, ready for Christmas.

I’m not a great fan of plum jam but would walk over broken glass for a helping of prunes preserved in Armagnac.

Chicken in plum sauce will use both your plum jam and some of the fresh ones and is delicious.

Nigella's baked wine-spiced plums with Barbados cream.
I have taken serious liberties with this recipe (not least refusing to add the spices suggested) and it always works.
Or jam!

Plum duff.

I've asked in my WA groups if anyone has any jam jars!

Plum cobbler

Spiced plum rum ideal for Christmas. Kilner jar, put in some plums, sugar, cinnamon sticks, star anise, pour over the rum and leave for a month or two.

You could plum someone's house... 😆🫐

"All over this... plumming on here, plumming on that... plum the sofa... there's nothing here that hasn't been plummed... Plumming someone's house is one of the most disrespectful things you can do."

I gently stew them with a small amount of water, brown sugar, piece of orange peel and cinnamon sticks. When soft but still holding shape, drain and slightly thicken juice with some cornflour paste. We eat it as it is, warmed in microwave with custard or with a piece of cooked puff pastry on top, freeze in bags for during the winter.

Thank you for all of the suggestions. I have remembered I have a couple of kilner jars in the dresser so am currently making a batch of Small batch plum quick jam (sugarsalted.com). The rest are in the freezer.

@mumonthehill - plum rum sounds amazing!

Plum pie, with hot custard....Divine!

Poached spiced plums with cold custard, yoghurt or ice cream.

Pickled plums ready for Christmas, delicious with game pie or any charcuterie.

Plum clafoutis served with clotted cream.....Sublime!

Polish plum dumplings are really nice. I'm not sure how to put links up but you can find plenty of recipes and how to make them online.
