Back yard fruit

I was surprised to see the yellow plums and figs are doing so well despite the wet spring. Last year I made plum sauce with these yellow plums great for dipping chicken fingers and egg rolls or even roasted chicken.
And once I had my fill of figs which I adore I processed the rest whole in a simple syrup. They are so good on a cracker with some goat cheese and a chilled glass of white wine. Amazing.
Both recipes were from the Ball Complete book of home canning. If either of these recipes appeal to you I am happy to email them to you.

We planted young plum trees in our yard last year. CAn't wait until they start to produce.
