Figured while I'm at it I would ask for help with Italian Plums, or what I think are Italian Plums....small deep purple, oval and yummy. I do not want them to go to waste so any ideas for recipes or how to can/freeze them? Thank you so much. Julia
You can wash them and freeze them whole. That's what I did with my excess. I have wild plums.

I washed and then split some in half and put them in the dehydrator. They were great and kept their sweetness. I did store the bags in the freezer though, as they were hard to get completely dry.
