Poached in wine, baked in a fruit crisp or simmered into a simple jam — there are endless ways to enjoy plums. Try a sweet twist on a savoury classic: wrap plums in pastry to make fruit dumplings. For something unexpected, pair stewed plums with roasted pork tenderloin or a spiced rack of lamb.
Steer clear of mushy, wrinkled plums and choose ones that are firm, with a little give to them. Store plums in the fridge or crisper. Look for plums with their chalky bloom still intact — this indicates freshness.
