The bounty of the plum tree

We've scored a whole lot of plums lately, and here's what I've made so far. Barbeque Sauce (from a Quirky Jo's recipe, full of wholesome ingredients), and Plum Chutney, from a traditional recipe, full of plums! I had fun prettying the labels too. So, I'm not sure if I should be sharing this with my cooking friends, my crafty friends, or my people who might come over to eat!

Annual tomato brag

So, please read the post, and fill in the appropriate data from the table below. In future posts, I'll only need to post the data.
