I went to a PYO yesterday to pick Victoria plums. To-day I have made a plum crumble, about 6lb of plum jam and a crunchy plum cake (which turned out better than I expected!) - OH has had 2 pieces!
I have a running battle with Tesco - in the last couple of years, all they have sold is nasty Spanish plums, where our farmers are ploughing Victoria plums back into the fields. Disgusting.
Have stewed some today but wanted them in tins rather than bottling them. Have tried large superstores near me - Tesco, Waitrose, Asda and Sainsburys, Marks - have even tried specialist delis/other ethnicity shops - must just be my area.
