Plums are a delicious treat, and home growers will know how generous a healthy tree can be! The plum season has just come to an end, and you may have a collection of plums in your fridge or freezer – what better way to use them than homemade plum sauce. Plum sauce can be used with meat, gourmet sausages, to add flavour to stews or even as a pizza base – perfect with venison salami, blue cheese and walnuts.
