[Sca-cooks] Round one - Plum Butter

[Terry Decker]

"Pflaume" is more likely to refer to the fruit itself than the quality of 
something.  And while I've encountered the noun "a plum" being used to refer 
to somethins as being choice, I've never seen "plum pudding" used that way. 
The plum in plum pudding commonly refers to actual plums or raisins.
