Cutting the plums for a crisp recipeWash, dry and slice the plums, discarding the pits. As you can see, these plums were just so juicy. I included the liquid in the recipe and it probably made the crisp a little thinner but it really wasn’t a problem.

    that looks amazingly delicious. It also reminded me of the plum tree that my grandparents had in their yard when I was a kid. I used to love to go out there and pick one and have a little snack

    Looks really good and reminds me of my father! He loved plums and loved for my mother to make him a dish his family use to eat during the war in Germany. It looks similar to this dish! Thanks for the memory! Hope you're doing good!
