This year has proved great for my plum tree. Once a sucker from a tree in Seattle now with 6 grafts. It is so heavily laden branches had to be tied to the main stem to keep the branches from breaking. There are 2 varieties, Seneca and Valor, both Italian, free-stone, sweet plums.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.There is nothing so sweet as fruit ripened on the tree. Do you plan on making jam or something similar? Or do you have lots of grateful neighbors?

These will not be for the community (there are no close neighbors). I normally can them but with so many some will be dried, some canned, some baked in a cake(s). There are lots of thing one can do with plums and I even once had canned some using a savory recipe.
@JackPedigo plum jam!
@freeofgod Thank you. I've done that in the past but many recipes call for running the fruit through a food mill and I hate to waste the valuable skins. Besides, I like to can and have done so for several decades. Right now I have over 3 dozen pints, half pints of fruit preserves. If I make some cakes or cobbler I will post some pictures.
