6 plum recipes to showcase the sweet and savory sides of the fruit
Plums were recently on my mind as I was thinking of seasonal produce and brainstorming recipe ideas for my Dinner in Minutes column. The result was a skillet chicken, featured below. The process opened my mind to the possibilities of the summer stone fruit, helping me realize that while they are generally associated with desserts, plums are just as welcome in savory dishes, thanks to their range of flavors, including tart, sweet and everything in between. You'll find that versatility in these sweet and savory recipes that highlight the stone fruit.
