Having multiple plum trees in my yard makes it important to have good ways to preserve my crop so it doesn’t go to waste. There are many ways to preserve food and I like to have diverse methods in my preservation repertoire. I have many options of how to use my preserved plums later. When I was a kid, my mom would freeze vast amounts of plums, and us six kids would snack on them all summer as healthy bite-sized “popsicles”. Freezing plums is not only an easy way for me to preserve them, it also carries with it a lot of nostalgia.
Frozen plums are great for a variety of uses including baking, smoothies, and, especially, eating plain. I really like that I can freeze plums now and then can them later when the summer is not so hectic. Let me show you just how simple it is so you too can have them all year round.
