Reply:Get this month's Gourmet ... they have loads of good 'recipes' for plums. I just 'can them' ... some in 'light sugar syrup' and some with cinnamon and cloves and a bit of vinegar plus sugar ... those 'pickled plums' are wonderful during the 'holiday season' if you want a 'light fruity dessert' but don't have a lot of time ... serve them over vanilla ice cream for an 'extra good treat.'
