Zoe: Thanks!

Michael: Yes, by all means this will work with pluots.

Amy: Oooh, do we get to hear about your plum tart? Was it the Ina recipe? I thought about that one.

Alanna: You know, I think I use my grapefruit spoon on everything *except* grapefruit (which I like to supreme).

Dawn: That’s a good idea—and clearly a great one for this recipe. I have never once had a problem with my springform leaking, but I think I’ll take this precaution from here on out.

Lavonne: Oh,no—split pits! Twice the work.

Robin: Thank you!

Amrita: Thanks!

Diva: Thank you!

sue bette: I’m happy to hear that nectarines and plums are getting the love (if only from one of us!). : )

looks wonderful! I am one of the few people I know who puts the nectarine and plum above the peach on my stone fruit list. Thanks for the tips on pitting, I am going to put them to use!

I’ll have to try the grapefruit spoon on peaches. I made a peach crisp yesterday and most of the fruit had split pits, the absolute worst. It was worth it. Now I’ll round up the plums and try this.
