[Sca-cooks] Plum loco

[Mark.S Harris]

Selene the rosy-fingered asked:
> Plum vinegar [now there's a potential jalab!], plum brandy, plum vodka,
> I'm plumb tired out already and the tree hardly looks like I've been
> picking.  Any more ideas, period recipes or such?

There are some period recipes and a fair amount of info on period
plums in this file in the FOOD-FRUITS section of the
Florilegium. Most are marmalades and preserved fruit recipes.
