Things to do with plums?

[alathia]

My plum tree is finally ripening, so I have a ton of plums. They are small, round, red, and very sweet. I also have oblong small purple plums ripening as well (I think these are prune plums?) Give me good recipes or ideas on what to do with my plums (plum jam? plum compote? plum tarts? plum fruit leather?) Thanks!

Chutney is great (I just wing it, don't have a recipe, sorry). And jam - equal parts fruit and sugar, boil until it looks like jam. (Yes, I know that sounds too easy, but that's really how I do it.)

I can't wait to make this plum kuchen.

When we had buckets of plums coming in I ended up drying most of them. Occasionally I'd make a crisp, cobbler, or sauce, but dried plums ended up being my favorite. :-)

did you use a dehydrator?
