Fresh picked plums ~ Jam anyone?

One of my favorite things about this time of year is that it is the time when we can pick fresh plums, right from our own yard.

This afternoon while little Jane was napping, Daddy and Jane went outside and picked some plums.They came in with 1 and a half ice cream pails full (and there is more to be picked).

Do you have any other ideas or recipes of what we could make using these fresh juicy plums?

I think you can possibly do a fruit tart too - just a tart shell, plum and a custard would be awesome!
