Do you love prunes? I love these dried bits of plums so much, but have never been a fan of the more chemically-laden commercial prunes. GET FREE PRINTABLE RECIPE CARD HERE: www.thepurposefulpantry.com/dehydrate-plums/
Can you do these with other types of plums ,,great video love watching what you do gives me some great ideas just started to dehydrate since watching your videos
My great grandmother used to thread them together and hang them in the hot attic to dehydrate them. She had 8 kids and her husband died. She was able to keep them all fed despite being dirt poor
I have done Italian prunes, but only sliced in half, takes forever to dry, think I will try cutting them down into smaller slices. Will also try plums.
I've got to try this. I always think that they're going to turn out like the store-bought prunes and the kids would never eat them. But this looks delicious. Looking forward to Plum season
I will be doing this soon I hope. We love plums and this would be great! My husband loves them even more than the rest of us and this will make a great snack for him to keep on his desk at work. :-) Thank you!
@@ThePurposefulPantry I will have to get a dehydrator first! Lol! I gave mine away, along with my canner and supplies 😣 I was planning on relocating back to the US but that's been put on hold. However I have materials to DIY one and use the good old Mexican sun 😁
Good luck!! One of the tips I saw when looking at sun drying them was to turn them inside out if you're doing halves. That way, you don't have to worry about that skin being an issue. Then make sure to pasteurize after!
I'm glad I found your channel, just recently, and am gobbling up all your suggestions and tips! Then I'll be ready when I decide to start up again. Thanks!
I have never used plums...I eat the fresh. Can you blanch them like a peach to peel them? If they weren’t as ripe as you wanted could you make jam? Disclaimer: I’m pretty new to this preserving thing...😁👍🙏🇺🇸
I bought a large mandolin. Could not wait to use it. Bad decision. Could you send me where you bought your metal glove or which video has it listed. Thank you so much.
Hi Dear I like your video it’s very good idea to dry plum I also wants to do but I just want to now where did you get this dry machine please if you not mind? Aney idea where I can buy in uk please and how much is it please?
It's a Nesco Dehydrator - what is avaialble in the UK is going to be completely different than the UK - start with Amazon to see what is offered there, and then find your best price.
Yes, I know :) You can make a prune out of any plum, but there are certain varieties that are better than not. I put that information in the blog post because it was more info than what I could fit in. And I even explained that I wasn't doing it in the typical fashion.

Any plum works. I'm just using the generic plums we have easy access to, but all plums work the same way.

Inspiring to all of us!
The plum tree is ready to harvest & this is a great way to process them. Thank you. We are looking forward to tasting them this way. 😋
Wonderful information. Thank you for your wisdom!
You are so welcome!

I laughed at the speed up part! I've been working on dehydrating meets and now on fruits. I love jerky and bananas.
Thank you.
Thank you! This has alot of helpful information.
Plums, my favorite fruit!

Sounds great!
LOVE Prunes, thanks for the informative video.
Glad you like them!
I have to admit to loving commercially produced prunes, I like them soft not crunchy. However I would like to try the plum powder.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the great demo Darcy!
My pleasure!
Very cool I'll have to do that when I can get them on sale.
Later in the summer will be the best time when they come into season in the US.
@@ThePurposefulPantry oh, I can't wait it will be so good. 😁
Hi Good afternoon. Oh thank you for this I had wondered how you would do this.
Hope you enjoy
@@ThePurposefulPantry Thank you and I will be looking for a good price on plum to try this and share with my B F how to do this..
I love plums! 💖
Hope you'll give this a try!

@@ThePurposefulPantry How do you suggest I pasteurize?
I mostly did tomatoes, and frozen veggies.

Could you punch jokes in the skin with the cake slicer tool? Would that prevent case hardening?
If you need to.
I have never used plums...I eat the fresh.
Can you blanch them like a peach to peel them? If they weren’t as ripe as you wanted could you make jam?
Disclaimer: I’m pretty new to this preserving thing...😁👍🙏🇺🇸
That was recommended during the video ;) You can make jam out of any fruit you'd like.

Did You try to make powder ? And did You like it ?
Nope - we ate'em!
Prunes are high in magnesium.
I love prunes but....those are not prune plums. They make prunes from the dark purple oblong plums not round plums. Totally different fruits.
