Plums! Any good recipes?

[Lightbulb]

My favourite plum recipe has been reposted here (though translated to american ):

http://sparecake.com/2011/12/30/crispy-duck-with-plum-chutney/

Use 100g of sugar.

Its really lovely with duck - but I've had it on icecream too.

It will thicken a fair bit once it cools so don't over cook it.

Really inspiring thread, thanks guys.
My small effort with greenish Bullace I found growing in a fairly wild wood, but there was a farm not too far away so it might be a greengage.
A compote made for my Porridge this morning



I could do with a hand IDing it to be honest. I don't think its cherry plum as is so late in fruiting, and not red/yellow flushed. They are the ones in the Kuksa and are 2.5cm in dia on most of them, which is confusing as I was led to believe this is cherry plum size on average, with bullace/damson, slightly bigger on average. Damsons I know are normally purple, with bullace any one of four colours.

Doesn't look like a bullace - Greengage looks right to me

Cheers Red.

Just knocked up a stew using Venison Shoulder, and some herbs from the garden. Smells great

Greengage are a stunning fruit now lost to many - lovely as an eating fruit as well as cooking. We have planted a golden gage in our young orchard - gages should be more popular really - but they aren't a commercial fruit really - enjoy them!

The stew sounds great!
