My neighbour has just given me half  a bucketful of unripe but fully grown plums. (They would be purple if they were ripe).

I have never made anything with unripe plums.

Does anyone have a pickle or jam type recipe for these please?

Could they be greengages?  Cross fingers that they are 

You could ripen them at home, or at least some of them

I've made lovely jam from what turned out to be unripe damsons. They took a bit longer to stew and I added a bit more sugar, that's all

No sadly not    They are off the purple plum tree in her garden. 

Thanks for the jam info MumofStig ... looks like that'll be the answer then

I was looking for a decent Chinese plum sauce recipe this morning and think I have found one, I have most of the ingredients too hand but will omit the chilli as Linda does not like them. I have 3 3/4lbs of plums and 1lb of shop bought nectarines which are just starting to go over, I will mix and match the ingredients to taste as I am diabetic so sugar is a bit of a no no, I have candarel so might give that a go, Dave

Stand them in egg trays and wait!  Cheers, Tony.
