Yup! It was all I asked for. Probably not the most normal thing for a 19 year old guy to ask for, but hey, why not. :lol: Im sure I could keep one going, and Im sure my dad will keep a smaller one, I just dont want to deal with it, haha. I'll be at least 3.5-4 hours away and dont think I'll be...
Im glad I was able to help you too then! :D
We have two and we always have way too many to eat, so its a good thing my grandma taught me how to can. Now Im branching out as much as possible.
I have to go now, I just finished cutting up my plums and I need to make some jam!
Thank you very much, PotterWatch! I appreciate you taking the time to type all of that out for me. I think Im going to try canning some in syrup, just for the heck of it. I've never canned anything in syrup like that and I have so many plums. I actually did a batch of jelly and got 4 pints and...
That does look nearly identical, Hoodat. Thanks for the link! I just worry about eating something when Im not 100% positive what it is. I dont wanna kill anyone. :lol:
Thanks, PotterWatch! I would love the Plum Juice, Plums in Syrup and Plum Sauce if you wouldnt mind posting the recipes. Thank you very much.
Freemotion, I've tried that too and dont like it too much either. I can be a picky eater, its a terrible fault of mine. I've mostly tried berry cobbler...
Journey, it does look like a really small plum. Im used to our large domestic ones I guess! :lol:
vfem, that does describe them pretty well! Im just worried about eating one, I dont wanna croak at the age of 20! lol
Thanks. It sure is a bummer, especially since I got a pressure canner for Christmas and I was all ready to start canning! My garden last year was AMAZING. I remember picking 85 tomatoes one day. I didnt get 85 this entire year! I plan on transferring next fall to a 4 year college so Im not going...
Thank you all for the replies!
The only thing about the cobblers and what not is that I do not like hot fruit, lol. Dont know why but I never have. The upside down cake idea sounds good though! As for the liqueur... that's a no go as well. Im 20 years old and this house is a no-alcohol house...
Well, none of our fruit trees did really well this year but we do have quite a few plums left on the tree. I picked probably 60 or so today and will pick the rest hopefully next week, although its my first week of school. :hide
Anyways, does anyone have any fun/interesting recipes that I could...
Sparkles, my dad suggested a plum as well.
Ridge, you and I have the same idea on this thing, lol.
I picked one and cut it open and there is a huge pit in it. There was very little flesh on it but the flesh is really juicy and smells like a cherry, to me. The skin slipped right off after I...
Hello! Im doing pretty great, thanks for asking. How are you doing?
My garden was horrible this year. Got a couple dozen peppers, about the same amount of tomatoes and probably the same amount of squash! One good crop of beans and that was it.... I had 16 rows that failed to germinate...
Well,
I got in one of my picture taking moods today and went outside to see what I could find. We've lived here for nearly three years and I see this "shrubby bush" thing all the time (Although looking at it, it could be a small tree that I just fail to prune :P )... this is the first time I've...
