@@azeluk I was wondering if i could cook the plums, with some spices, and then freeze in canning jars (but not canned - just handy to use those jars). then thaw later and eat like w oatmeal. but i wasn't sure if they'd get all mushy and loose their structure. Like if you freeze some berries and then try to eat them, they can get pretty mushy. Granted they are good in smoothies and stuff. Have you made the jam, froze it, and then thawed it and all is well???
Hi .. just wanted to say I did find a use for all my frozen plums. Today, I made a great healthy drink that I can sip on all day. I take 1 banana , 1 or 2 frozen plums, a few tbsp yogurt , flavoured or not , added water to the large size cup from the Nutribullet, blended and yum. ! This gives me potassium , and many vitamins and good for the gut too 😄 You mentioned a german kuchen .. would you have that recipe ? thanks and take care !
My mother always really liked the old Fannie Farmer Recipes. Here is one of them: You make Quick Coffee Cake batter by creaming 1/4c butter with 1c sugar and 1 beaten egg. Sift together 1 1/2c flour, 2tsp baking powder and 1/4tsp salt. Add to the first set of ingredients. Then, slowly add 1/2c milk. Put batter in a shallow 8x8 pan. Drain cooked or canned plums saving the juice. Arrange plums close together on top of the batter. Sprinkle with 1/2c juice then 1/4c sugar mixed with 1tsp cinnamon. (If you are using fresh or frozen plums you could use a different fruit juice like apple as a substitute.) Bake at 375* Serve with whip cream or eat plain. This is a 1960s recipe. I think it is kind of fun to revive those old ideas. Let me know what you think of the recipe.
Great information. I have 3 plum trees, but only 2 produce, the other one hasn't mature enough. I haven't tried freezer yet. I'll try freezer next year. Also, I just subscribed. You two have a lot of great video's. 👍▶️❤💕
Hi.. I froze a lot of plums this summer and now don't know what to do with them. Wondering if you know how I could make a plum crumble or a baked dessert wtih them.. Thank you !
@TiagitoP They tend to become a little mushy when defrosted. You can eat the fruit off the pit if you want. My favorite way to eat them is either frozen or in a smoothie, In either case it is best without the pit. If you have freestone fruit it might be easier.
Ladies thank you, I've just had a massive plum harvest and I had no idea how to preserve them. Thank you 😊
Our pleasure! There are so many great things to do with plums.
@@WisdomPreserved well I've got about 10kilos of them 😂. I've made jam so far I'm going to freeze some, make some chutney and maybe a few cakes too.
@@azeluk That sounds lovely. A plum sauce for using on meats might be a good addition to your pantry as well.

@@WisdomPreserved Gee thank you so much for this recipe .. will cherish it !
Thanks for this.
Any time

Welcome, we are glad you found us and all of the videos we love sharing.
I use to make plum jab, but that has a lot of sugar. I'm trying this for the last of our harvest.
I actually really love this slightly tart frozen treat.
Hi. Will the plums be ok to make a pie with after freezing?
Yes. The freezing causes them to be softer on defrosting but will work with many things like that. I really like it for smoothies or Kuchen.

I like adding them to smoothies for a little bit of tartness. They also make good kuchen. It is a sweet cake with plum that comes from Germany.
thats how i pick
How long can they last in the freezer?
They should last about 8 months if kept at a constant temperature.
Can you put wax paper between them and then freeze them?
I think that would work.
Can you just freeze them whole?
You can, but then you have to deal with the pits later.
