Last fall I moved into an apartment with a plum tree in the front yard. I don’t know anything about plants or trees or fruit, and now that summer is here there are hundreds of plums dangling off this tree. They’re attracting millions of ants, as well as raccoons, possums, rats, and a few bold humans who I’ve caught plucking from the tree.
I guess I like plums? But there’s around a week left until they all fall to the ground and become a horrifying slurry, and I’d rather avoid that.
Any suggestions?
TLDR: Have plum tree, it’s bursting with plums, no idea what to do in order to avoid ant apocalypse
search for tkemali sauce recipes. It’s a Georgian plum sauce that is great with meats and vegetables. I’ve used it on pork, chicken, fried potatoes. In Georgia, it is about as common as ketchup is in the USA. There is red tkemali made from ripe plums and green made from unripened. Green is my favorite, but both are really good. I think the plums used in Georgia are a wild plum, but I made some last month with red plums I bought at Kroger. You might have to visit an international market to get some of the spices.
edit: recipe that i used, minus a couple spices i didn’t find in time, but it still turned out good.
