Plum Dumplings

In the late summer, hubby treats me to a dinner of homemade plum dumplings. I think about eating them all year long, but the particular plums required are usually only available in mid-August to early September. Hubby’s recipe comes from his grandmother and is mostly in his head, so here is the closest one I could find online to share. So tasty! Bookmark it and look for the prune plums in another month or so. Two little tips: one, you can never make too much of the bread crumb topping, and two, add a bunch of cinnamon into the topping for super deliciousness!

*Please note that I have not personally tried any of these recipes, but there sure do sound delicious! Other than my mama’s margaritas I couldn’t think of a fav lime recipe. It is sure to come to me a couple weeks from now…
