Plums

We once again had a bumper crop of plums this year on the one tree in our orchard that consistently produces fruit. But this variety is of such a juicy nature that they are very difficult to eat fresh without making a mess of fingers, chin, and shirt front. So those that weren't nibbled on by our local toddler or foraging deer, are currently in the pantry fermenting in a giant crock, in hopes of becoming my first batch of homemade plum brandy. I'll let you know in a few months how it tastes!
