We've joined the Tinka Orchard CSA, which means we'll be getting several deliveries of fruit (plums, pears & apples) in the next three months. (Thanks to Erin for letting us know about them!) We're told to expect about 100 pounds of fruit, which works out to just $2.50 per pound--a great deal for pesticide/spray-free (basically organic, but not certified) produce!
Because we're going to have large quantities of fruit at a time--we should be biking our first box of 25 pounds of plums home next week--we'll need to be organized about preserving a lot of it. Got any great recipes for things we can make & freeze (or dry or can or whatever) out of plums? Please share them in the comments!
Follow Spokesmama here too:
They are sold out of shares already! :-(
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what to do with 25 pounds of plums. We are still working our way through a similar amount of cherries. You could try making plum wine. :-)
Argh--sorry, I meant to mention that in my post. When I emailed, we'd just missed out too, but they kept our name on the list. Then someone backed out last-minute so we got that last spot.
ReplyDeleteOne of my ideas for using up some of the plums is feeding them to guests at Sprout's birthday party, so you'll probably have some. :)
