Plum galette
A crafty plum recipe list wouldn’t be complete without the
classic French galette – perhaps the quintessential seasonal cake which has you
putting your autumn fruits to best use.
There’s an abundance of mouth-watering galette recipes out
there, but we’ve called on Simply Recipes
for its simplicity (and its beautiful arrangement of plums!). This recipe
tosses plum slices with sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice and zest and instant
tapioca to achieve a naturally sweet taste.
The galette has a long history. One of the oldest findings
dates the cake all the way to 1311. Coming forward over 400 years to the time
of the French Revolution, the galette cake, also known as the ‘King Cake’, was renamed
the ‘Galette of Equality’ in line with the collapse of France’s monarchy.
Pork tenderloins with fresh plum sauce
Pork tenderloins and plums are a perfect pairing as they
both share a natural juiciness. This pork tenderloin and fresh plum sauce
recipe from All Recipes is sure to go down with meat lovers in your family and is the
perfect midweek or weekend treat. We recommend adding in a little extra
balsamic vinegar to really bring out the flavours of the pork tenderloin.
For the most deliciously tender pork tenderloin, we’ve got
you covered with expertly prepared cuts; get yours here
and don’t forget the vital seasonal fruit here!
Plum tarte tatin
If you love plums the right way round, you’ll also love them upside down! Faiza Hayani Bellili at The Hubb Community Kitchen draws on a recipe her mum used to make in her homeland, Algeria. The Hubb Community Kitchen champions cooking as a way to bring us together, which is certainly something we celebrate at Creamline. This delicious recipe serves 8-10 and you can find it here.
