This is wonderful and that plum tart looks a lot like something my German grandmothers made on occasions, too, especiallly the one from Posen. I’ll definitely be trying it!

want to try first . But I know from finding my Grandma's recipes.... what you're doing does take time... Thanks for helping the old recipes not get lost.

Wonderfully written Ruth. I can taste some of those plum tarts your aunts made. Great use of frozen fruit. Heartwarming.

Loved the blog and your presentation tonight. I have the same recipe from my German family. I've made it many times with plums, apricots, and berries. Yum! When this craziness is over I want to bake with you. Happy Mother's Day. ❤️
