SPICY OVEN-ROASTED PLUMS



Spicy Oven-Roasted Plums image

Several years ago I was looking for a recipe to take advantage of our bumper crop of plums, and came across a recipe similar to this. After tweaking a bit, I have come up with a very versatile version that my family and friends love. Season with ground white pepper and use it as a side dish for pork or chicken. Sprinkle with toasted almonds and spoon it over vanilla bean ice cream, angel food, or pound cake for dessert! Play around with the spice combination by adding cloves, allspice, or cayenne. Be adventurous!

BAKED PLUM PUDDING



Baked Plum Pudding image

Feel free to use your favorite kind of plum for this pudding recipe, but we recommend prune plums, which have an almond-shaped body that tapers at the end. They're on the smaller side, hold up well, and the pit comes off the flesh easily, all of which makes them especially good for baking.

UPSIDE-DOWN PLUM CAKE



Upside-Down Plum Cake image

I used fresh ripe plums for this recipe, during plum season. The cake is a very soft sponge cake once taken out of the oven, and (in my opinion) It tastes eveb better the following day, especially if cold/refridgerated. It's important to let it rest in the tin for the allocated time (last two steps) - otherwise the cake may collapse.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe plums: Use ripe, sweet plums for the best flavor. Look for plums that are deep in color and slightly soft to the touch.
  • Prepare the plums properly: Wash the plums thoroughly and remove the pits. Cut the plums into small pieces or slices.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients always yield the best results. Use fresh eggs, butter, and milk for the batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough and dense cake. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Bake the cake at the right temperature: The cake should be baked at a moderate temperature of 350°F (175°C). This will help it to rise evenly and prevent it from overcooking.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving: Allow the cake to cool completely before serving. This will help it to set and develop its full flavor.

Conclusion:

Plum sponge cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and fluffy texture and sweet and tangy flavor, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a simple and satisfying dessert, give this plum sponge cake a try.
