Plums, glorious plums

We're lucky to have a great plum tree in the garden. Each year, it happily provides us with handfuls of delicious plums that the kids get so excited about picking. We've no idea why it does so well as we do nothing to care for it (although it's right next to the compost bin which might help!).



And as soon as the plums are picked, they are gobbled up by the kids. It's fantastic that they are so keen to eat them but it would be nice, once in a while, to be able to use the plums to make something.

I've seen a couple of nice looking recipes such as this Plum & almond tart by Angela Hartnett and
Spicy plum & apple chutney by Sara Buenfeld. Of course, we all know they're never going to be made!!

Do you have your eye on any tasty plum recipes or does the same thing happen in your house (and it's not just plums here, it's strawberries, blueberries etc).
