Plum Kuchen

The Weekly  Schedule

Plum  kuchen  is  my recipe for today as I said.  I will  also be  posting Bread Pudding  with Crème Anglaise on  Wednesday and then  on  Friday I will finish up with Pistachio and  marmalade Crusted  Brie with Figs, a recipe which was  inspired by one I saw Jacques  Pepin make with brie cheese.

Of  course,  there  will be other recipes you can find  by  searching  social  media for #FallFlavors, as  on Tuesday I will be posting  with Bread bakers and then on Thursday  with Improv Cooking. You  can always check my groups  schedule  in the right  hand margin.  Other days I  will be posting  by chance.

Locally Inspired  and Sourced

This  kuchen was  inspired by a  suggestion by a  local  market who announced  they had the Italian Plums in from Eshleman Fruit Farm in Clyde, OH. And noted that they were “perfect for your Plaumenkuchen recipes” (which in fact they were.)

I  thought to add some  frangipane  to the filling as I have been wanted  to test out  making that  with an almond flour  instead of using  a food  processor. It  in fact, works out great.

Toppings Added-  Ready  to  Bake!

The Italian  plums were really tasty and I  noted to myself that the batter will  easily  support  using slightly larger  plums if needed.

I  was extremely  pleased  with the  results of using the frangipane  in the coffee cake,  so look for it  to  pop up  in other recipes.
