Several years ago my sisters plum tree went crazy and was covered with plums. I made this bread and it was delicious. I also pureed them and froze them to use in recipes instead of oil. Used in zucchini bread , pumpkin bread and chocolate cake instead of oil. Very good ( my family actually likes it better than with oil)
