I gotta cook up some plums tomorrow.

They are starting to get to the point where it’s use ’em or lose ’em (my wife likes plums, but these are pretty ripe). I saw this recipe: Plum Crisp, which seems simple. Possibly too simple. Any thoughts on, hah, tarting* this up?

*Although actual tarts may be beyond my reach. I don’t think I’ve actually ever made any.

  1. Alcohol.
    Pit them, chop them, soak them for at least a couple hours. Then follow the recipe.
    Brandy for preference, but whiskey or bourbon could work.
    .
    Alternately, you could add pumpkin spice.

  2. Rhubarb is good if you can get it. Really mellows out strawberries and pineapple, so I don’t see why plumbs should be any different.

    1. Due to the vagaries of this week, rhubarb [and pumpkin spice] is beyond my convenient reach. But a new bottle of whiskey is not.

  3. Toss some roasted nuts (your preference) into the topping and then a few more on top of the topping. Very rarely can you have too many nuts in a fruit dessert. And I am certain that there is a whiskey soaked peach crumble in my future. Honestly best thing I’ve read today.
