The Plum, the Plum, Boss...the Plum!

Harvest time is rolling around again. First up are the apricots and the plums. Sad to say, but the apricots, though plentiful, are so badly scarred from a hail storm that they are almost impossible to eat...ugly! We have been picking the ripe ones and then cutting them up for inclusion in our hot breakfast cereal. I might be able to salvage 50 or more from the two trees. A poor harvest.

The plums are almost the same, with lots of scars. But I eat them anyway, fresh and sweet. And I made some plum sauce this morning, since it doesn't require a good looking plum to be successful. That sauce will go on our pork dinners. Next I will try and make some plum butter!
