Plums

Our plum tree is overloaded.

I am buried!
Yes, blueberries and now plums.
Oh the abundance of summer!!!

The food dehydrator is going round the clock

and I just don't want to make jam.

If you live in my part of the world,

please come and pick.

Looking through my cookbooks this week I found this

very yummy dessert, but how many can we eat before

we become blimps!  Smiling!

So if you have plums or you want to pick mine here is the recipe.
