Plums

[Spiderman]

What do you think of plums? It's great that God or the Big Bang eventually led to the existence of plums. They were clearly designed for some people's taste buds and laxatives.

I love the way they taste and texture. Also, they are the best natural laxatives I've ever experienced. I truly think that if any constipated person ate five or more plums in one sitting, fecal material would be cast out of their bowels rather thoroughly. Mission accomplished!

Don't waste money on milk of magnesia. I have much faith in plums which are healthy and not man-made.

Sorry I'm just in a good mood with all the free plums just received. I wanted to spread the good news!

Appreciate the little blessings in life! Plus, it's a mystery how much fruit seems to be designed to delight taste buds and provide nutrition. It's a mystery how they came into existence.

Plums are fantastic, really love ripe Victoria plums.

If you have plenty offer some to friends to share the good news.

No need to apologize, Matt. For some time now the Religious Forum has consisted of Politics and you and your varied topics. I prefer the you over the other.

Your faith has healed you.

But you said they're the "first fruits" domesticated by humans. Wouldn't that be man made?

"They may have been one of the first fruits domesticated by humans.

"It is these who have not defiled themselves with women, for they are virgins. It is these who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These have been redeemed from mankind as first fruits for God and the Lamb,​

The Die tit ians of Canada have spoken.

I like your posts man. You think of a lot of things.

Now i gotta go out in the freezing cold and try me some plums as soon as the Sabbath is over.

Google has made us smart.

He gives wisdom to the wise.

Many are running to and fro and knowledge has been increased.

Peaceful Sabbath.

WE can grow a few varieties in cold western Canada where it can get to -40 midwinter. I planted 5 trees at the temple property, but so far no really great abundant crops. Last year one tree had about 50 fruits, but its improving year by year too. I've learned quite a bit over the years, mainly that they need another variety or different fruit as pollinators. As far as I know this variety (Pembina) isn't grown commercially anywhere. Sad that, as they are really an excellent plum. If I was young again, and able to get land, I'd be a hardy fruit farmer for sure. So much goes to waste, and it's such an easy to o food supply.

• Prep time: 20 minutes
• Cook time: 40 minutes
• Yield: Serves 6

INGREDIENTS

• 3/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp (170 g plus 30 g) of white sugar (can reduce to 1/2 cup for a more tart cobbler)
• 4 cups of seeded and sliced fresh plums (Santa Rosa plums work best), 10-18 plums, depending on the size of the plums
• 2 Tbsp instant tapioca (or cornstarch)
• 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup (110 g) all purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup (50 g) butter
• 1/4 cup (60 mL) milk
• 1 egg, lightly beaten

1 Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

2 In a large bowl, combine 3/4 cup white sugar, plums, instant tapioca, orange zest, and cinnamon. Place the fruit mixture in a 2-quart casserole.


3 In a medium bowl, combine the remaining 2 Tablespoons of sugar, flour, baking powder and salt. Cut the butter in with a fork, pastry blender, or your (clean) hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk and egg until just moistened (do not overmix).

So how did you come by all these free plums?

Where I live, sometimes we are offered free produce

Nice -- so next time you could find yourself with a bushel of turnips?

Turnips are cool, they make great doorstops. Id be more worried about a sack of sprouts.

I love plums. We had a plum tree in our yard when I was a kid.

 

[Alisha Howard]

Honestly, I do not like plums. To some extent, I rarely eat fruit in general. It is difficult to judge about plums.
