Summer seems to make us want beautiful, light, and deliciously healthy foods!
Now that our CSA is in full swing we are getting lots of a few different fruits/veggies at the same time. I love the challenge of getting a lot of one or two different tasty goodies all at once. We got about 3 pounds of beautiful, sweet Sugar Plums in our pick-up last week. Three pounds of most fruit is not too much – but these little beauties are tiny, so it was quite a few! I have not yet gotten into canning at all so I enjoy finding ways to use them all up while fresh and delicious. Gina over at Running to the Kitchen seems to have a similar method to her cooking since she always posts something that I want to eat exactly then!
After seeing Gina’s beautiful stuffed plums the other day, I picked up some Goat Cheese on my Supermarket run the other day. I picked up a pretty good-looking cheese that was on sale – with cheese though, you get what you pay for and this might not have been the best option this time. The complexity of all of these flavors is just amazing – not what your are used to, but totally worth experimenting and playing!
Happy Summer – Eat Fresh & Eat Deliciously
“Life is Like a Bowl of Cherries”
(or peaches & plums from our CSA)
Goat Cheese & Honey stuffed Plums
- 6 sugar plums or 4 or your slightly larger, regular plums
- 2 ounces goat cheese
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 3 leaves basil, chopped and divided
- Wash your plums & carefully cut in half (either direction). Twist to remove half of your plum and then cut the pit out of the other half (the pit does not remove as easily as in a peach – but we are working on the same concept here).
- Combine goat cheese & honey in a small bowl and mix together with a spoon.Carefully spoon cheese mixture into the well of each plum half.Top each with a few slivers of basil.

And I leave you with this, Today’s Question of the Day… When have you purchased a bargain and then regretted it (or what bargains were totally worth it)?
Yours look beautiful! I still have an ungodly amount on my counter. They’re never ending!
Thanks Gina – I was very much inspired by your photos when we did ours… let me know what other treats you come up with (did a peach/plum cobbler thing for breakfast yesterday with yogurt on top – that was yummy)
There are very few things I wouldn’t eat if stuffed with goat cheese. I love these plums, they look gorgeous.
thank you Jackie! I agree though, love this photo (sometimes I feel like I should decorate my new dining room with framed prints of some of our favorite food photos!)

These look amazing! And, I have been in desperate need of some inspiration for the plums that we keep getting from our fruit CSA this summer. Thanks so much for submitting your recipe to this month’s Kitchen Bootcamp challenge!
