Food Porn: Michigan plums

Plums in a bowl, looking out over Lake Michigan
When I first saw this picture, my first impulse was to want to crawl straight into it. Check out that bowl of yellow and orange plums, with the sliver of water in the background. I want to be there.

There are a number of fantastic things to do with plums like that. Jam would make them last long past the summer season. A big crumble would be delicious dessert to serve to friends and family. You could also stew them down into a chunky sauce and serve it over pancakes, corn bread or scones. Oh the options!

AL, they *should* be readily available in many parts of the US (as far as I remember anyway) -- that's assuming you mean Damson plums: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damson (Zwetschge in southern Germany, a more generic "Pflaume" or plum in other parts of the country, Zwetschke in parts of Austria, which is where I am).
