Back to Eden

yummy!
"What might these bright colored morsels be?" you may ask. After dragging the love of my life over to the garden to collect strawberries, he demonstrated his agility by scaling the plum tree and collecting about 5lbs. of fruit. The picture does not show the whole bounty. It shows the first batch I scalded to get the tart skins off the fruit. The second challenge was getting the pits out of these precious, juicy morsels. Which explains this next picture.

My handy kitchen-aid broke them down into a pulp, which I quickly put on the stove with a good amount of sugar and the juice of one lemon. I yielded 4 and a half jars of plum jam. Whoo-Hoo!
