Plum Time

When I started sewing those skirts in June, I knew I wouldn't have much sewing time in July, but I didn't really remember why.  Now I do.

Plums.  Our plum tree is prolific again this year, and it is keeping me busy.

Scoot and I picked these just this morning.  There are more ripe ones on the tree, and more underfoot.

I've bottled some jam, and a lot of barbecue sauce.  And we've had plum desserts, plum dinners, and plums on the side.

The plums are delicious, but they don't keep well, so I'd better get back to work!

What are you preserving this summer?
