This recipes would lend itself perfectly to using cherry plums instead of the usual cherry plum jam.<br /><br />I wrote a squidoo lens about identifying cherry plums you can read it here and if you don't mind I added your page in the recipe section.<br /><br />http://www.squidoo.com/frugal-food-foraging-wild-plums-cherry-plums-and-bollacesJane Manbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03465401805878332134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-33428620710294858672010-08-22T03:17:33.565+03:002010-08-22T03:17:33.565+03:00Love these simple ways to prepare fruit...I imagin...Love these simple ways to prepare fruit...I imagine this would be excellent with some yogurt too :)ChichaJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14143881216169572999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-75570388879039704752010-08-20T18:07:14.325+03:002010-08-20T18:07:14.325+03:00Pille, thank you for replying :) Two years ago I f...Pille, thank you for replying :) Two years ago I fell in love with the Estonian girl I mentioned, but before I could talk to her she left London, and she hasn't been back since. Now, I'm searching the world for her to tell her that I love her. Truly, Estonian girls are the most beautiful women on Earth! Best wishes, and congratulations on your exceptionally fantastic blog.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05210419036385385007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-44377936817556475242010-08-20T17:01:49.754+03:002010-08-20T17:01:49.754+03:00Everybody's recipes and photos are so fresh lo...Everybody's recipes and photos are so fresh looking and summery. I'll miss all this fresh fruit when winter returns, but in the meantime, we make the most of it and enjoy every bite. Thank you for another lovely recipe and photographs.<br /><br />Our tongue gets used to a consistent sugar level, whatever amount we use. I consistently halve sugar called for in recipes, and everything still tastes sweet. The freshest fruit sometimes needs no sugar.<br /><br />KathleenCooking in Mexicohttp://kathleeniscookinginmexico.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-79770639640072169792010-08-19T23:00:59.924+03:002010-08-19T23:00:59.924+03:00Jan, I'm blonde, gorgeous and Estonian, but no...Jan, I'm blonde, gorgeous and Estonian, but not the girl from the Laduree shop :D :D :DPillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05817049547134774699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-30229531005936612472010-08-19T22:59:44.723+03:002010-08-19T22:59:44.723+03:00Pille, are you the gorgeous blonde Estonian girl w...Pille, are you the gorgeous blonde Estonian girl who worked in the L'aduree patisserie in London (Burlington Arcade) during the summer months of 2007/8?Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05210419036385385007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-8654986573125780092010-08-19T20:34:32.329+03:002010-08-19T20:34:32.329+03:00Holly, feel free to reduce the amount of sugar.

However, plums often get sharper and more sour in flavour when subjected to heat (especially on top of cakes), so too little sugar can mean the compote ends up too sour. <br />It depends a lot on the flavour of the plums. Feel free to experiment with less sugar..Pillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05817049547134774699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-41676793155926370272010-08-19T19:47:39.153+03:002010-08-19T19:47:39.153+03:00sounds like a good recipe, but does it need so muc...sounds like a good recipe, but does it need so much sugar in it? I am trying to cut down on sugar, and wonder if there is another way to sweeten this dish?hollyhttp://www.tastybingo.comnoreply@blogger.com
