Plum recipes
Try out some of our tangy plum dessert recipes including one of our sponge cakes (there’s one with custard too), a crumble or jam. Or give them a try in a savoury dish such as duck with spiced plums.
If you’re feeling like preserving the bounty, Japanese umeboshi can be made with British plums, and are well worth trying out, or try an easy plum and vanilla jam.
