I was looking for recipes for stuff to do with wild plums and came across the following:

Barbeque sauce based on plums! I bought some plums last night and tried it and it seemed very much like barbeque sauce. My nose wasn't working yesterday, so I couldn't get any more than the 5 basic flavors, but my husband said it was good.
We are both nightshade sensitive (tomatoes, potatoes, eggplants) so that's cut a big swath through a lot of our favorite menus. Since plums act much like tomatoes in a recipe, I'm now going to be able to make spaghetti sauce, and pizza sauce, and chili and ketchup and maybe even creole sauce!
I'm quite pleased with this. I guess I'm going to have to buy a bunch of plums and turn them into plum sauce and can them.
