Best Plum Recipes

This recipe was developed to make use of fresh Santa Rosa plums, a tart variety which are too sour to eat straight but are great for baking. This recipe uses brioche bread, but any rich white bread would work equally well.This recipe is by Erica Penzer Kerekes and was originally published in The Baltimore Sun.

Pork tenderloin is an elegant, simple, and satisfying meal, but the plum salsa really puts this dish over the top. Plums lend themselves for use in a salsa because they don't break down when you cook them. They add a fresh, bright element to the pork by balancing that savory flavor with a little sweet fruit. After it's prepared, this salsa looks absolutely beautiful, and the flavor and color adds tremendously to the appeal of the tender pork. This is a great dish for entertaining because it's low in calories, low in fat, and high in protein without sacrificing flavor. And it is so easy to prepare because the pork is roasted whole and then individually sliced for your guests.

I found this on the Foster's Lager website — sounds tasty and easy to make. You can use any beer, I'm sure, but Australian beer would add a special touch of authenticity to this recipe.-Shannon CooksThis recipe is courtesy of Shannon Cooks via Food.com.
