Yesterday i went cherry plum picking

Today, 6lb of the plums are going into jam,.

This leaves me with just over 2lb left.

What do i do with them?

Eat them

How about a pie or tart or something, you could make a couple and freeze one. Imagine coming home from a partcually bad day at work in the freezing cold winter, summer just a memory and then remembering the plub pie in the freezer - instant summer memory! Well just a thought.

i found sone green plums that were a bit sharp, so i made green adn cherry plum jam with them.

going picking again soon though, to make a few tarts and pies...and there are some apple trees nearby too, so i might end up getting some apples to add to some of the pies.
