Try pickled plums with hot roast pork. They are good, too, with cold meats of all kinds. To 7lb. of dark plums allow one quart of vinegar, half an ounce each of cloves, root ginger and cinnamon, and quarter of an ounce of mace. The plums should be pricked with a needle before the hot vinegar and spices are poured Plum bits make a useful sweet suitable for general household fate or for the nursery. A light pastry is required. This should be cut into squares about 3in. x 3in. in size, and in each little square of pastry a stoned, split plum placed. A lump of sugar in each plum replaces the stone. Pinch the pastry corners together so that the plum is covered, and bake.
