Thanks for putting me in the right place :D  Hard and green I'm afraid :(  I'm so upset because both trees were weighed down with fruit when we went on holiday and when we came back all the ripe ones were gone, not one left on the tree or on the ground >:(

I'd say cook them like that with plenty sugar, make wine or make a chutney. My Mum used to make a fine plum chutney with plenty chilli in it too.  ;)

Plums need to be quiet firm for jam.

If they are still on the tree you could wait for them to ripen a bit  :)
