A plum crop

Our plum tree was thoroughly laden with fruit this year. I had thought that because we’d pruned it we may not get a great harvest until next year, but I was happily surprised when I could see the plums ripening.

As there was so much fruit I roped Brian into giving me a helping hand to pick them.

We’ve had an excellent crop this year, which I’m looking forward to making some jam with, but best of all I will freeze some for winter plum crumbles. In France it’s called a plum crisp, and we actually have one on the menu for tonight, so we will see how good they are.
