Plum Clafouti

Well Fall has finally arrived and I am sure most of us are

thankful for that.    It has been a long hot summer.

I plan on making this wonderful recipe for 

dessert tonight and thought I would share it.

Italian Prune Plums are in season right now and are so delicious.   I remember my Mother

making Plum Dumplings with them.  

Plum Clafouti

6 tablespoons white sugar, divided

14 Italian prune plums, halved and pitted

3 eggs

1 1/3 cup milk

2/3 cups all purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest

2 teaspoons vanilla

1 pinch of salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons confectioner's sugar

Preheat oven to 375°    Butter a 10" pie plate, and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of sugar over the bottom

Arrange the plum halves, cut side down, so that they cover the entire bottom of the pie plate.  Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of sugar over the top of the plums.   In a blender, combine the remaining 3 tablespoons of sugar, eggs, milk,  flour, lemon zest, cinnamon, vanilla and salt.    Process until smooth, about 2 minutes.   Pour over the fruit in the pan.

Bake for 50- 60 minutes in the preheated oven, or until firm and lightly browned.  

 Let stand 5 minutes before slicing.

Dust with confectioners sugar before serving.

All Day Apple Butter

Apple Butter anyone?      

You will need

5 1/2 lbs apples, peeled and finely chopped

4 cups sugar

2 to 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1/4 teaspoon salt

Place apples in a 3 quart cooker.    Combine sugar, cinnamon, clover and salt; pour over apples and mix well.    Cover and cook on high for 1 hour.

REduce heat to low; cover and cook for 9-11 hours or until thickened and dark brown, stirring occasionally (stir more frequently as it thickens to prevent sticking).

Uncover and cook on low 1 hour longer.   If desired, stir with a wire whisk until smooth.   Spoon into freezer containers, leaving 1/2 inch headspace.    Cover and refrigerate or freeze.

Yield:  4 pints.

How do you eat your apple butter???
