I own a plum tree and I have about 100 plums that I don't know what to do with and I don't want them to go to waste.

1 pound fresh plums

3 cups all-purpose (plain) flour

2 cups sugar

1 cup vegetable oil

3 eggs

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground allspice

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Preheat the oven to 350 F.

Line a 9-inch springform pan with aluminum foil.

Pit and halve the plums and place them, cut sides up, in the bottom of the pan. Set aside.

Blend the flour, sugar, and oil until the flour is evenly moistened.

Add the eggs and blend thoroughly.

In a small bowl, mix together the baking soda, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.

Add the spice mixture to the batter and blend well.

Add the vanilla and almond extracts and the salt and mix again.

Pour the batter slowly over the plums.

Bake the cake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.

Set aside to cool for 15 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate.

Serve the Plum Spice Cake warm with softly whipped cream.







Plum or Peach Cobbler Muffins Recipe #57535

This is an variation on a recipe found in The Muffin Lady cookbook. I used plums, because that's what I had, but peaches would be delicious, too. She says to use unripe fruit, as it will ripen up and get sweet during cooking. Also, use sliced fruit rather than chopped, because chopped will tend to "get lost" during baking. These muffins are like a hand held fruit cobbler. So good!

2 firm plums or peaches

2 cups flour

1 cup sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

4 tablespoons melted butter

1/4 cup oil

3/4 cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

cinnamon, for dusting muffin tops



Heat oven to 350 degrees.

Peel and slice fruit into 6 slices each.

Sift the dry ingredients, making a well in the center.

Pour wet ingredients into the well, and blend by hand.

(Batter will be thicker than regular muffin batter.) Scoop batter into lightly greased, large 6 muffin pan.

Insert 2 plum or peach wedges into each muffin.

(They will be sticking out over the batter. This is ok) Sprinkle muffin tops with cinnamon.

Bake for 30 minutes, or until center of muffins is resistant to touch.

Cool 5 minutes in pan, then turn out on rack to cool.
Reply:Plum jam is great. So is plum chutney. Make a plum pie.
