Maybe I'll try roasting them!

Maybe I will give this one a try instead.<br /><br />What ever will you do with all those green tomatoes? I saw an interesting recipe for green tomato molasses the other day!Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08337291320368324416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1516199892122090215.post-88956130338287203072013-10-06T16:51:56.792-04:002013-10-06T16:51:56.792-04:00The plum kuchen that was posted on your website is...The plum kuchen that was posted on your website is a lot like a traditional European plum cake that I really love. It can be found here: http://emptynestergourmet.blogspot.com/2012/10/italian-plum-cake.html<br /><br />I think I like it because it isn't normally too sweet (no icing crumble or extra sugar). They picture it with waaaaaay less plums than we usually use.<br /><br />I agree with Shae. We've already had two humungous frosts here in Montana and I have a ton of green toms sitting in a bag in my laundry room. It's green tomato season!! <br /><br />ELAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1516199892122090215.post-4803173054558637612013-10-04T07:39:20.574-04:002013-10-04T07:39:20.574-04:00Aw, man, I wrote a response yesterday, and it neve...Aw, man, I wrote a response yesterday, and it never took! I said: Thank you for reading, Shae! I recall those hills of gold. I hope you get some rain soon! That photo of the blue plums makes me so happy, especially because it's slightly out of focus. It looks like a painting to me.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08337291320368324416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1516199892122090215.post-82389271459431212842013-10-03T12:25:30.033-04:002013-10-03T12:25:30.033-04:00One thing I love so much about your blog, Jules, i...One thing I love so much about your blog, Jules, is the world that it opens to me, which is so different from our California fall, where the air is so thin and bright, the hills brittle gold, and we wait for rain to put the fire danger down. Blue plums in moody light are a good counterweight. Thank you.Shaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16901572938845138938noreply@blogger.com
