Recipes with plums. Delicious and tasty.
- Honey Roasted Plums with Thyme and Olive Oil, The savory keeps the plums balanced. There’s no need to add a lot of sweetness to already sweet fruit. Not to mention that roasting fruit naturally concentrates and caramelizes the sugars.
- Plum Salad with Black Pepper and Parmesan, Don’t bother trying to halve and pit the plums before slicing them for this plum salad recipe. Instead, cut off slices, working your way from the outside to the pit.
- Plum Turnovers, Flaky plum turnovers filled with fresh summer plums.
- Plum & almond pastry, This open fruit tart looks and tastes fantastic for very little effort – frangipane flavors complement sugar plums.
- Cinnamon-scented plum jam, This delicately spiced jam is a gorgeous way to preserve the taste of autumn fruits – delicious spread on hot buttered toast or teacakes.
- Plum crumble cake, This sumptuous seasonal bake is topped with halved plums or apricots and a buttery crumble topping – serve as a pudding or cake.
- Spiced Plum Custard Cake, This cake is just lovely. It has a buttery base that is just a teeny bit sweet, which is topped with lots of fresh juicy plums, and finally a sweet & creamy custard topping.
- Baked Plum Pudding, Feel free to use your favorite kind of plum for this pudding recipe, but we recommend prune plums, which have an almond-shaped body that tapers at the end. They’re on the smaller side, hold up well, and the pit comes off the flesh easily, all of which makes them especially good for baking.
