I guess you could do it through one of those cone type chinoise, but like I said - bigger fruit is the ticket!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14170010033050089044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294888312540575322.post-90677717792554367562010-09-16T11:03:03.347-07:002010-09-16T11:03:03.347-07:00Out of curiosity, couldn't you have left the p...Out of curiosity, couldn't you have left the pits in since you were running it through a food mill?

Cook the whole, washed plums with a little bit of water until soft. Then press through the holes of a colander or very coarse mesh strainer. That will leave the skins and pits behind with little effort. If you want the skins for some reason, you can fish them out of the pit+skin residue.Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14108059997977496770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294888312540575322.post-23859543600709221402010-09-15T04:07:26.004-07:002010-09-15T04:07:26.004-07:00I've got lots of fucking plums here in the sou...I've got lots of fucking plums here in the south of France to try this recipe with. :) Thanks <br /><br />TGypsyTarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12378045669654540473noreply@blogger.com
