Plums are best eaten alone. Most people bite into the juicy flesh until there is nothing left but the pit. If you find yourself with a few extra plums, don’t worry about having to throw them away.
The firmer plums can be sliced and added to your morning yogurt. True fans of the plum can add them to their salad for a tart and tangy taste. Sauces for meats can be the solution for any soft plums you have left.
How about making some prunes of your own? If you eat a lot of fruit, invest in a food dehydrator. You can reduce those plums to their sweetest components. Dehydration removes any excess fluid and leaves only the sweet and the nutrients. Drying the fruit will give you another two weeks to enjoy their goodness.
People who aren’t too fond of plums may like prunes better. They make a handy snack for the kids when you are out in the park on a Saturday or shopping in the store. Just take one out and pop it in their mouth (or yours) to stave off the hunger for another thirty minutes.
Plums are a small fruit that can fit in the palm of your hand. Eat them alone when you buy them fresh from the market. Use them in salads and as additions to other foods to use them up before they perish.
