I made these plum fruit leather bats for Halloween with   Our Best Bites   Natasha's Kitchen  Plum Fruit Leather   the plums that were literally falling from the tree in my garden .   I have so many garden to kitchen cookbooks and many have recipes for fruit leather, but never got round to making it at home despite having so many recipes bookmarked.  I am embarrassed to admit, its only because fruit leather began popping up on blogosphere that got me finally motivated.  I   couldn't find my black cat cookie cutter as that is what I really wanted to do with the plum fruit leather, but I guess I could do that for next year now, so instead we have some of Batmans back up - Nocturnal Bats.  I've rolled some plum fruit leather too for effect. My regular readers will that my first attempt at making fruit leather was a bit of a fail, but I managed to save the pulped plums for other recipes including   Our Best Bites   ...

I made a  Plum and Chickpea Curry last year but did not get round to sharing it at the time, so with it being the Plum season in the UK I thought I would make it again and share my vegetarian vegan version of 'Lamb' and Plum Curry.   This 'Lamb' and Plum Curry is a real recipe adapted from Camellia Panjabi 50 Great Curries of India.    I used vegan soy pieces* that I picked up from a Polish shop, they were not that great, but for the vegetarians the Quorn fillets will also work.  If you don't want to use the mock meat substitute, then just double up on the chickpeas.   If you can't quite get you head round it, think of the plums as zingy purple tomatoes - the plums in a way replace the tomatoes in this dish; and for those of you who have had either Red or Green Tomato curry, then this will not sound that strange. It was actually quite nice, sharp and sweet. Here are    13 Vegetarian and/ or Vegan Meat Free Fruit Curry Recipes . Plu...

The last of the plums have fallen from the trees and they have been attracting the Red Admiral and Peacock butterflies who have been feasting on them. It has been a honour to watch them on mass, though I wish D had the energy to take some pictures as they posed without care.  I have had my share of plums this year and am pleased to have been able to shared some with family and neighbours, after making the Plum Chickpea Curry, I made a Plum Crumble Cinnamon Cake which was a good change from my  awesome  Cinnamon Plum Cake .   It was really good, especially the next day.  We served it with cream. The original recipe is made with apricots, but of course I had homegrown plums . Plum, Crumble Cinnamon Cake Serves 8 Ingredients 140grams self raising flour 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 50grams caster sugar 1 egg, lightly beaten 3 tablespoons milk 85g butter, melted 5 - 6 plums, halved and pitted Topping 40grams plain flour 1 teaspoon ground ci...

We are eating fruit from the garden: plums, raspberries and apples. I made this Upside Down Plum and Raspberry Cake quite recently.  When I removed the baking parchment paper to reveal the fruit topped cake, it was vibrant and glistening beautifully from the fresh fruit natural juices. However, it was the following day when we took the photograph, it had lost its sparkle. I was a tad disappointed and wish I had taken the photograph the evening before, but it had got a bit too dark.  So I feel somewhat that the cake is not shown in its best light.  Still it tasted good. If I make this cake again, I would just do one thing differently.  I would keep the stoned fruit on the side, around the edges and the raspberries in the middle because even though the cake was cooked, the middle was a bit soggy and you'd be worried if it was raw or soggy.  Upside Down Plum and Raspberry Cake For the fruit topping 300grams plums, cut in half Optional: enough raspberri...

Every year I make the same  Cinnamon Plum Cake .  This year I wanted to try some different recipes including an Upside Down Plum and Raspberry Cake .    Well this is supposed to be a Plum Studded Cake, except the plums got engulfed by the cake batter and disappeared beneath the golden cake.   You can imagine my disappointment as it does not make a good photograph, but it was nice to eat, so instead I have dubbed it Drowned Plum Cake.  Well as well as making this drowned plum cake, I have also made Three variations of my popular Cinnamon Plum Jam , these include Plum Jam with Liquorice, Plum Jam with Star Anise, and Plum Jam with Vanilla. These will be gifted to unsuspecting new work colleagues come Birthdays or Christmas. I am sharing this recipe with Cook Once Eat Twice hosted by Searching for Spice.  Three Easy Plum Jams, with Liquorice, Star Anise and Vanilla  Makes 8 x 190ml jars Ingredients   1 kg plums, core...
