OT: what to do with plums?

FarmingPhD

Neighbors have a plum tree that has yielded well this year and brought us a bunch of plums.  This is more than we can eat as plain plums and looking for ideas of what to do with them.  They are a bit of an odd fruit by texture but are very good.

Personally I would go plum melomel. I have done this with peaches, pears, and apples. If you don't like the flavor take it down copper hill road.

Thanks @alaskanassasin @fishlessman @Eoin

No wine making for me, but honey roasted is going to happen after a YouTube video.  

I’ll have to see if I can get my wife to make jam or help me make jam.

Well, I ate 5 of them with my lunch today without thinking about that potential effect......
