Hey all , a large branch from my neighbours plum tree has just fallen into my garden .... due to the amount of fruit on it.... i have collected about 20lbs of fruit

but.....

they are not ripe... a fair size but still  green...

is there  anything i can do with the fruit at all???

any ideas  would be most appreciated

I was lucky to receive a couple of bags of green plums from freecycle last week and I made some delicious plum jam (recipe from Val's book)

This was the colour of mine.  Not the most attractive of colours but tasted lovely and is now just about all gone.

try waiting a few days, they may ripen yet, we have loads of fallen plums that ripen after coming off the tree.

Anyone know if putting the green plums in a box with a few over-ripe bananas would work?!

[SMD66]

bananas do give off a 'gas' which ripens fruit quicker, that's why they shouldn't be in the fruit bowl with everything else.  I would say it's worth a try
