The Neighbors have a plum tree and bought us over some plums last year which most of them are still in the freezer. Now they are bringing over more. So I am needing some recipes for plum what ever. Any thing will do but need many as Like I said I am PLUM crazy, B):rolleyes:

Good luck to you with your "plum" situation! I currently smush them up for my baby boy. Do you know anyone with an infant/toddler? Maybe a plum smoothie? :rolleyes:

Personally, I would just cut the plums off at the source...tell the neighbors you don't need any more. Or don't answer the door when they knock...or chop down the tree...or donate a bag of plums to charity... I'm out of suggestions. ;)

Other than that, my advice is to google "plum recipes"

FYI: I had a neighbor who constantly brought me tomatos...I finally suggested that she sell them to the local "country market" who stocked fresh produce. After my idea to sell them, she never brought me another tomato. B)

Actually we do use a lot of them for different things. I was just looking for some thing new that some one may have. One of my favorite things to do with them is a smoothie using Plums, Powders coffee creamer, Cinnamon, nutmeg, and a little sugar some times. Put it all in a blender mix and enjoy. Best served chilled.

I got a lot of plums from my farm share this week and made this plum torte. I adapted it from a gluten recipe.

It was really easy and very tasty.

Plum Torte

1 stick unsalted butter, softened

3/4 cup plus 1-2 tbsp sugar

1 cup flour blend (I used Bette Hagman's Featherlite mix)

1/2 tsp xantham gum

1 tsp baking powder

2 eggs

pinch salt

about 10 plums, pitted and cut in half (my plums were the small Italian purple plums - if yours are larger you might need fewer plums)

1tsp cinnamon (or more, to taste)

Preheat oven to 350.

In a mixer, cream butter and 3/4 cup sugar. Add the flour blend, xantham gum, baking powder, eggs, salt and mix well.

Spoon the batter into a 9-inch springform pan (the original recipe said ungreased, and it only stuck a little at the bottom)

Cover the top with the plums, skins down. Sprinkle with cinnamon and remaining sugar.

Bake 50-60 minutes or until a tester comes out clean.

      Still testing positive after being gluten free for one year ?!!

      By Jenn D · Posted

      Hi. Did your ema levels ever go negative? My son is 2 years in gluten free and they are still positive.  I'm scared he has refractory celiac disease. Please if anyone has any info greatly appreciate it. His ttg is 3 which is considered normal.

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      I will have that info soon but it was a laundry list of a test and 9 viles. ok so there were some days she was gluten she barely ate because of the reactions. I told her 3 weeks of atleast 10g’s a day and no gluten-free days. Thanks so much for your help! I didn’t know my suggestion for gluten-free days would have hurt her.    I will come back with the list to make sure the req was proper!!

      A "gluten challenge" of two weeks would be the bare minimum for expecting to render valid testing, and that would have been paired with eating a minimum of 10 g of gluten each day (the equivalent of 4-6 slices of wheat bread). And with the three gluten free days in the midst of that two week gluten challenge I would not have confidence in the results of the testing. Was there a blood test done for IGA deficiency? Can you post the test names that were done with the scores and with the reference ranges used by the lab? By the way, with celiac disease the issue is not being able to digest gluten. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder defined by the fact that ingestion of gluten triggers an immune system response that attacks the membrane that lines the small bowel. The immune system mistakenly identifies the protein gluten as a biologic invader.

      Hey all!! M i want to thank everyone for their suggestions and advice - I am a single mother of 4 (now 3) and was helping with my oldest leaving the nest. I have another child with medical issues and with work (it’s our end year), life has been crazy and I haven’t had the time to answer.    so we got a blood test done for my daughter that can’t digest gluten. She had been eating gluten for 2 weeks. The blood work came back normal? How is that possible. I see her with my own eyes and it’s not normal. Is that not long enough?  I am thinking about having her eat gluten another week then go to the hospital and see what they say.    She did have 3 gluten-free days in those 2 weeks but she was getting afraid to eat and I told her to may take a day off - was this a bad thing to do? Girl was having constant back pains and muscle soreness as well. Headaches/migraines…should I wait longer. I did see 4-6 weeks of Gluten consumption prior to testing… kind of at a loss now.    Thanks to everyone for whatever advice you can give.   Enjoy your Sunday 😃👋👋
