If you want to make your own waffles from scratch, see the full recipe here. You can get what your need for the following recipes at the Market too!

Plum and Apple Compote with Vanilla Custard

(Look for apples at Compean & Sons, Apple Works, Lee’s Orchard, Nujac Garden, or Wild’s Apple Farm.)

Spicy Plum Salsa

(Hot peppers and cucumbers are available from many vendors, and garlic from Bloomer’s or Norman Mullet.)

Honey-Lavender Plum Gratin

(Get honey from Wildflower Ridge, and lavender from Harvestland Farm.)

Grilled Plums with Cookies and Ice Cream

(Cookies from multiple vendors like Amelia’s, Circle City, or 4 Birds, and ice cream from Lick.)

And try enjoying plums “au natural” — with these pairing suggestions from Country Living:

  • Cheeses, particularly those with buttery, rich flavor, complement plums in much the same way as cream is lovely with berries. Ask at Ludwig Farmstead Creamery or Tulip Tree Creamery for the best type of cheese to go with your plums.
  • Dark chocolate is a lovely companion. Check with Chocolate for the Spirit for a fine dark bar or truffle to go well with sweet or tart plums.
