Hello there
Hi all, I'm Shiru and I happened across this comm by chance-- joined today. I'm looking to widen my social circle and make some new friends, and also to glean your godly ideas, tips, and recipes. I bring you a fun and easy recipe to use up those plums that are cheap at the grocery store right now.
I tried making this Purple Plum Pie the other night after work.
I skipped the crumb topping because I didn't have enough butter in the fridge. Instead I used the other pie crust in the package and cut out little flowers from it and layered them on top. I guess less calories this way. It came out super juicy, I think it needs a little cornstarch in the mix to gel the juice a little bit. However, it really is good, with lots of flavor, especially if you like the sweet/sour taste of cherry or rhubarb pie.
I'd make sure to use very ripe plums in this pie if I were making it again. The ripe and slightly soft ones completely dissolved into yumminess while the firmer ones stayed harder and taste a little sour. So next time I make it, only very ripe plums, make sure I have butter, and add some cornstarch. But this tastes great! I think it'd be good with vanilla ice cream.
