Plum plum plum. We were incredibly blessed with a very prosperous plum tree this year. I've gifted baskets of them away, we've made syrup, tarts, eating loads of them fresh and now we've made our very first jam ever!!!! It was a little wild without all the proper canning gear. But no one got too burnt and the kitchen still works :)!
I think I've pitted enough plums for the year....wheew. I watched Conference and enjoyed the words of our great Prophet and other wonderful disciples. It made me truly grateful for the many many blessings and bounteous goodness we have. There is so much to be thankful for and so many comforts that I take for granted. When I think of the lives that do many others live on this earth my life is so "cushy." We are blessed with so much!
We also baked a plum corn cake that was so heavenly. So many delicious things you can make with plums that I never knew. Oh the joyful sound of popping lids after canning!! And baking with fresh fruit. As James attended a Priesthood meeting Jane and I listened to all 6 of our newly canned plum jams become sealed!!! Hurray, they all worked!!! Count your many blessings, name them one by one!
A delightful Sunday treat! Don't mind if I do ;).
