Today I got a very simple and easy recipe for you. In Germany, you would say “unaufgeregt” which means “unagitated”. Something to make you feel good without being complicated. Nothing that needs 50 different ingredients nor 20 steps to be done… Today I show you one of my favorite recipes in the world: a simple Rice Pudding with Damson Plum Compote. Soulfood par excellence ;)
The plum season has started and those little purple fruits are now available everywhere. The supermarkets are overflowing with plums. This means it’s normally time to make a nice Damson Plum Cake Tray Bake again. Well… this year I decided to do something different. Smaller, but no less delicious: 6 Spices Damson Plum Pastries with a simple and easy curd-oil-batter. This plum season couldn’t start better… ;)
I assume you all know what a cobbler is, right? If not… it is about time you get to know it ;) Cobblers are delicious sweet treats with a layer of fruit (compote) and a layer of crunchy dough on top… served with some ice cream one of my favorite deserts! This one here is a (Wholemeal) Damson Plum & Apple Cobbler – your new favorite treat. Pretty sure about that! ;)
Not too long ago I published a recipe for a Mirabelle Plum Poppy Seed Streusel Cheesecake here. I really like cakes with plums, but I actually did not want to publish a new plum recipe this year – I think I already have enough… and now you get another one ;P Guess I could not resist those purple little fellas. Hope you don’t mind that new one for this Semolina Cheesecake with Damson Plums.
I did not plan to bake anything with plums this year for the blog – I have so many recipes already ;) Well… the universe wanted one more I guess and sent me mirabelle plums, so I had to give in and make this Mirabelle Plum Poppy Seed Streusel Cheesecake. I guess there are worse things that could have happened, so I am not complaining ;)
The end of the month is here… the money is gone and everyone is waiting for fresh money to appear on the bank account ;) Well.. even though this is an important topic, there is something much more important at the end of each month: Bake Together – The Baking Surprise with Andrea from Zimtkeks & Apfeltarte! Yay! ;) You know… that little baking thing where we choose a topic and surprise each other with the result. This month it’s all about apricots and I made a delicious galette with… apricots! And plums and nectarines ;)
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
