Nettle and Quince

Like me, you may have an impulsive and mildly excessive reaction to every new fruit season. Come September, I start buying plums compulsively, often with no clear plan in mind — too many to eat straight out of the bowl, even for a family of six. Toward to end of the season, the urge accelerates, a few more pounds, before it’s too late!

Here are some ideas to make the most of these last days of plums.

Cakes

• Plum cake with lemon and buckwheat
• Marian Burros’ illustrious plum torte
• Nigel Slater’s plum cake

Preserves

• Greengage plum jam with lemon and bay leaf
• Hot Sweet Plum Chutney
• Damson and Victoria plum jam with lemon and ginger
• Plum jam with candied ginger
