What to do with a neighbors generosity of free plums, just pick them and have fun. Well plum butter it is! I used a crockpot overnight method which couldn't be any easier. Delicious for toast, muffins, crackers, or making a savory dish with a plum sauce.

How To Make pumpkin spiced plum butter

Step 1

Wash and slice plums. Remove pits

Step 2

Place in crock pot with sugar and spices. Pour 1/4 cup of purified water over. Mix and set on high. Stir every half hour. After 1 hour turn setting to low and leave alone for 8 hours.
Step 3

I did this overnight. In the morning I stirred and tasted for flavors. At this time I used a immersion blender and blended till smooth.
Step 4

Put back in crockpot for another hour uncovered. The consistency was perfect so I didn't want any more liquid by leaving lid on. Look at this color!! I separated in 4 cup size jars. These can be canned with easy 10 min water bath way. Great for gifting. I will be using for other savory recipes besides enjoying on biscuits, muffins and toast.
Step 5

I'm going back for more plums! Have more ideas for these beauties
