  1. Oooh, this sounds like a pie I could be brave enough to try! I’m normally terrified of pastry because of the chilling/rolling/shrinking factor, but I like the sound of this. It’s like a cookie dough crust :D

  2. i really like your food pictures and want to invite you to try out tastingspot.com. it’s for anyone that just wants another place to submit photos and share it will other foodies. It’s still in beta version, but would love for you to start adding some photos and help get it going.

  3. This is great!!! I am not a good baker or I should say I don’t bake often. I love the fact that all the ingredients besides plums are something I always have at home. I bookmarked this and will try this. It looks so good!! I can’t wait to eat this with good ice cream!!! =) Thank you so much for sharing. This is my first time on your site, and I enjoyed browsing around. :-)

  5. This was DELICIOUS. So thrilled with how it turned out. I made a few tweaks though:
    – I used 1/2 cup sugar
    – I put a handful of almonds and a splash of almond extract in with the food processor items.
    – I made sure my plums were slightly overripe (and therefore extra sweet)
    The result was the best use of plums!! Thanks!
