| Green plums, anybody? |
Our plum tree grows green plums. I think they're supposed to be yellow, but they never do turn yellow, they're green and ripe and fresh and deliciously juicy. It's the end of summer, which means it's time to pick them off the tree, which means lots of plum recipes. I've tried a plum, coffee, and almond Swiss roll, and I'd like to try a plum clafoutis, which is a French dessert of halved plums baked in a custard batter, and served warm with ice cream or custard, and a plum jam, which I have made before, and it turned out absolutely delicious. Although better than plum jam is home made apple jam, which tastes fantastic with grilled or oven cooked battered prawns, as strange as that sounds!

Update: Ah no, I recently found out that they're called 'Greengages', a 'green plum with a yellow-green, sweetly-scented flesh', which originate from Portugal.
