Hey,

This year we can have quite a harvest of cherry plums. Does anyone has any ideas what to do with them? All the neighbors use them to make tuica (an alcoholic beverage)  but we are not really into alcohol (1-2 beers are more than enough for a whole week).

Thanks!

PS: By cherry plum I mean https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prunus_cerasifera

Nice! I'd probably make jelly or jam with them.

You could probably make fruit leather as well.
I'm still waiting for mine to get mature and flower.......

Thanks for the ideas. Some more I tried (will see in few months if they were ok or not):
- pickled ones (water, vinegar, salt and green, almost ripen fruits)
- in salt, like olives (in Romanian but you can translate it https://www.facebook.com/IerburiUitate/posts/1087750524690943:0 )
