Every year at this time, Italian prune plums come into season. It is not a long season, but every year my Aunt Lotty made plum kuchen (cake). She has a secret recipe.
So I bought the plums. When we spent summers in the Catkills, we didn't have a plum pitter. We had to score the plums and remove the pits so that they would be in a petal shape. This was definitely a labor of love and a labor of love. Aunt Lotty gave me the recipe.
Years ago they developed a plum guillitone. So much easier to get those plums pitted and in a petal shape.
Making it tonight when it gets cooler and we can have it tomorrow.
