WILD PLUM SPRITZER

Steps:
- In a medium pot add 1/4 cup of water and pitted wild plums Bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer for 8 minutes or until pulp pulls away from skins. Stir regularly and smash wild plums as you stir. Place a mesh strainer over a large liquid measuring cup or bowl. Slowly stir with a spoon until juice seeps through to measuring cup or bowl. Discard the pulp. Repeat in batches until all pulp has been pressed and juice has filled measuring cup or bowl. If doing a bowl, you'll want to measure out mixture to see how much juice you got from your plums. Whatever amount you received will be the equivalent for the sugar and water. I received 1 3/4 cup of plum juice...so my simple syrup would have 1 3/4 cup water and 1 3/4 cup sugar. However if you got 1 1/2 cups plum juice, you'll do 1 1/2 cups water and 1 1/2 cups sugar. I hope this makes sense. So in a separate larger pot, add the correct amount of sugar and water. For me it was 1 3/4 cup water and 1 3/4 cup sugar. Bring to a boil and boil for 5 minutes. Remove from burner and add wild plum juice. Stir. If mixture is has too much pulp, strain again with a finer mesh strainer or cheese cloth. Place mixture in a quart canning jar and refrigerate for several hours or overnight. When ready to serve, fill glass 1/3 full with plum syrup and add sparkling water to make a full glass. Gently stir and drink!

ORIGINAL PLUM TORTE
The Times published Marian Burros's recipe for Plum Torte every September from 1983 until 1989, when the editors determined that enough was enough. The recipe was to be printed for the last time that year. "To counter anticipated protests," Ms. Burros wrote a few years later, "the recipe was printed in larger type than usual with a broken-line border around it to encourage clipping." It didn't help. The paper was flooded with angry letters. "The appearance of the recipe, like the torte itself, is bittersweet," wrote a reader in Tarrytown, N.Y. "Summer is leaving, fall is coming. That's what your annual recipe is all about. Don't be grumpy about it." We are not! And we pledge that every year, as summer gives way to fall, we will make sure that the recipe is easily available to one and all. The original 1983 recipe called for 1 cup sugar; the 1989 version reduced that to 3/4 cup. We give both options below. Here are five ways to adapt the torte.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, juicy plums: The better the quality of your plums, the better your spritzer will be. Look for plums that are deep in color and have a slight give when you press them.
- Use a variety of plums: Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of plums to create a unique flavor profile. Some good combinations include black plums and yellow plums, or red plums and green plums.
- Add other fruits and herbs: For a more complex flavor, try adding other fruits and herbs to your spritzer. Some good options include berries, citrus fruits, mint, and basil.
- Sweeten to taste: If your plums are not very sweet, you may want to add a little sweetener to your spritzer. Honey, agave nectar, or simple syrup are all good options.
- Serve chilled: Prune plum spritzers are best served chilled. You can either chill them in the refrigerator for a few hours or serve them over ice.
Conclusion:
Prune plum spritzers are a refreshing and delicious way to enjoy the flavors of summer. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a healthy and refreshing drink, give prune plum spritzers a try!
