I'm not much of a cook, but hate to waste them. I've already given as many to the neighbors as they'll take, but still have lots left.

Plum Jam
4 qt. plums
1 qt. water
Sugar
1. Wash, drain, cut plums in half and remove pits.
2. Add water and cook until skins are soft. Put through a rotary press.( A blender worked too)
3. Measure pulp and juice. Add 1 c. sugar for each cup of pulp.
4. Bring to a boiling point slowly, stirring constantly until sugar dissolves.
5. Boil rapidly until the mixture thickens. Stir to prevent scorching. Pour into sterilized glasses and seal. Good also when frozen, instead of sealing in ster. glasses.

sell them.. put a little table in front of your house and say "plums for sale" and charge a few bucks for a bucket full or $1 for a small basket.. or if you don't wanna make money off of them, just put a basket full in front of house on small table and a sign that says 'free plums'
