Those are my favorite too! My grandmother made a really good kuchen with them that was one of my favorite desserts. She never wrote anything down though, so no one knows how to make it. I found a recipe once that seemed pretty close and I wrote it down but it’s buried in one of my notebooks and I never uncover it and the plums at the same time. Enjoy them!
@wiesnerbeth My mother never cooked with them, maybe because we gobbled them down so fast! When my son lived in Napa, CA I got some they called French prune plums at a farmer's market. Delicious! They said Napa used to have lots of orchards that grew them, but then they began growing grapes....
@eudora Only one place sells then at our farmer’s market. They don’t have very many and I thought I missed them this year. I may have to check again on Sunday.
