The Apple of My Eye with Plums

Here is Don holding a cookie sheet of halved, stoned plums ready to go into the freezer. I also made what I indended to be a couple of jars more plum butter but I guess I cooked it just a wee bittie too long because there was only one large jarful and what it turned into overnight is plum paste. That's okay by us. It is delicious on toast and will be good served with Cambazola (Camembert, Brie, and Gorgonzola combined) on oatcakes when we put out a cheese course after a company meal.

We're continuing to have beautiful weather and plums are continuing to ripen. I'll be harvesting another several pounds of them today and, no doubt, freezing more and making more plum something or other.
