Thank you. As soon as The Spud Shed has some cheap I'll give it a go, or go up into the hills to get some. I like the dark red ones the best.

Just been to the spud shed and bought a heap of plums. They were still $3.99/kg but I felt in the need of some stewed plums. :) Got some nice peaches and apricots too.

Is Spudshed a WA thing only? Why cant we have something like that in Victoria???   ???
I can't stand going to Coles/Woolies or good quality fruiterers to pay jacked up prices especially for fruit and veg that is in season. For that matter, does anyone in Melbourne have a  reliable and cheap source of their fruit and veg?? Ever since getting my TM I find it is better to buy things like that in bulk and make more than one batch of jams/relishes etc at a time.

I'm pretty sure spud shed is WA only. The owner had an argument with the WA potato board and set up on his own several years ago. We have only  recently had one set up near us. It is actually built on Commonwealth land at the small plane airport and trades 24 hours a day.  We have very restrictive trading hours here in WA. I find that products in season are really nice there but you do have to select carefully. I would even go just for the milk as I now pay $1.79 for 2 litres of milk not what the supermarkets are asking.

Keep an eye out for Harvey Fresh 2l cream Cookie1. The Baldivis Spudshed sometimes have it (although not recently) and I'm hoping the Jandakot one will as well.

Will this recipe work for stewing other fruits too? I have been searching the forum for instructions on making stewed fruit (apricots in particular, as we have just picked four bucketfuls) but can't seem to find anything other than jam recipes.

MeganL,  Apricot chutney is a good way of using excess Apricots.

I made Isi's fruit crumble cake (I think it is called that) using plums recently.  It was so delicious I had to send it to work with Hubby after 1 slice.  ;) ;D

Thanks for that, I'll give it a try. I must admit the stewed plums and rice custard were lovely.

Thanks for this recipe CP, another use for the box of plums given to me today. I ended up making 2 batches, it was so easy.

Love stewed plums and ice cream, such a simple dessert and relatively healthy I suppose

Yesterday made some Nectarine 'ice cream), Very experimental as it contained cashew nuts instead of cream. Haven't posted recipe yet,  but basically, stewed nectarines, lemon juice and cashew nuts. Churned in Ice cream machine and stired through nectarine and raspberry jam. 
Think plums could be used.
