Plum Crunch

September 19, 2011 32 comments Article Dessert, Fruit, Recipes

Being a part of the food blogging world is awesome; of course I am sure many of you already know that. Apart from meeting so many new people, great non-profits and soo much delicious food- I have found something ELSE! The Secret Recipe Club. No not like it’s a secret, because otherwise I wouldn’t be telling you about it. The secret recipe club works kind of like secret santa gifts; you get assigned a fellow blogger, then you have to re-create a recipe from their blog for a certain date. Check them out here, although I think there is a wait list to join now since so many people are wanting to participate.

This month, my fellow foodie was Vivian, over at Let’s Try These. She had all sorts of tasty recipes to choose from, including an Irish Potato Pie and Orange Tian that I almost chose. I ended up choosing to remake her Strawberry Rhubarb Crunch recipe. My mom had tons of plums dragging her trees down out front, so I decided I would help relieve their pain by making a plum crisp for dinner with my grandparents and family.

I didn’t add water to the plum recipe, like she did in hers, because the plums release a lot of liquid when cooking. I also added pecans to the topping for some extra crunch. Turned out delicious, thanks Vivian for the inspiration!

    Great pick! Crisp is always a favourite in our house, and this one sounds like a winner. Love the addition of pecans to the topping.

    What a great idea. I’ll have to sign up!

    I miss my mother’s plum tree. Last year was a stellar yield and then I moved away!! What a glorious way to use up a wonderful fruit.

  • Lisa @ The Gonzo Gourmet September 19, 2011 at 9:45 am -

    Love that you’re able to use freshly picked plums from your mother’s tree, what a treat. The pecans sound like a lovely addition. Fun being in SRC with you!

    I wish the plums would ripen in stages over two months, but sadly they all ripened in about a week. I harvested the rest, dried about 500 plums (not exaggerating!), and made a great plum sauce that would be good on meat or pancakes or ice cream. I’ll keep a jar in the freezer for you! XO

  • Mary September 19, 2011 at 2:25 pm -

    This sounds delicious. I just took a peach crisp out of the oven. It smells so good! What exactly is it about warm fruit that just smells like happiness?

  • Lisa~~ September 19, 2011 at 3:56 pm -

    The plums look gorgeous and picking them straight from the tree…oh yes! Your plum crunch is just fabulous, wish I had a bowl full.

    If you haven’t already, I’d love for you to check out my group “A” SRC recipe this month: Welsh Cakes.

    I think the use of plums is great and I’ve often added nuts to my crumb mixture. I’m glad you enjoyed looking through my blog.
