The Right Way to Freeze Plums | Freezing with Wisdom Preserved 

Our pleasure! There are so many great things to do with plums.

@@WisdomPreserved well I've got about 10kilos of them 😂. I've made jam so far I'm going to freeze some, make some chutney and maybe a few cakes too.

@@azeluk That sounds lovely. A plum sauce for using on meats might be a good addition to your pantry as well.

@@azeluk I was wondering if i could cook the plums, with some spices, and then freeze in canning jars (but not canned - just handy to use those jars). then thaw later and eat like w oatmeal. but i wasn't sure if they'd get all mushy and loose their structure. Like if you freeze some berries and then try to eat them, they can get pretty mushy. Granted they are good in smoothies and stuff. Have you made the jam, froze it, and then thawed it and all is well???

My mother always really liked the old Fannie Farmer Recipes. Here is one of them: You make Quick Coffee Cake batter by creaming 1/4c butter with 1c sugar and 1 beaten egg. Sift together 1 1/2c flour, 2tsp baking powder and 1/4tsp salt. Add to the first set of ingredients. Then, slowly add 1/2c milk. Put batter in a shallow 8x8 pan. Drain cooked or canned plums saving the juice. Arrange plums close together on top of the batter. Sprinkle with 1/2c juice then 1/4c sugar mixed with 1tsp cinnamon. (If you are using fresh or frozen plums you could use a different fruit juice like apple as a substitute.) Bake at 375* Serve with whip cream or eat plain. This is a 1960s recipe. I think it is kind of fun to revive those old ideas. Let me know what you think of the recipe.

@@WisdomPreserved Gee thank you so much for this recipe .. will cherish it !

Welcome, we are glad you found us and all of the videos we love sharing.

Any time

I actually really love this slightly tart frozen treat.

I like adding them to smoothies for a little bit of tartness. They also make good kuchen. It is a sweet cake with plum that comes from Germany.

Yes. The freezing causes them to be softer on defrosting but will work with many things like that. I really like it for smoothies or Kuchen.

I think that would work.

They should last about 8 months if kept at a constant temperature.

You can, but then you have to deal with the pits later.

@TiagitoP They tend to become a little mushy when defrosted. You can eat the fruit off the pit if you want. My favorite way to eat them is either frozen or in a smoothie, In either case it is best without the pit. If you have freestone fruit it might be easier.
