I'd be 'shamed to admit it except I know I'm not the only one finding two-year-old stuff way back in her freezer. Summer of 2010 I'd had excess red plums and not wanting to chuck them, looked up on the Net how to preserve them. I could can them with glass jars and a pressure cooker or "wet pack," freezing fruit slices in sugar syrup. Waste not want not, I said, and did the wet packing, not believing it would work. Fast-forward to opening the container in 2012. Not freezer-burnt. Delicious and sweet. Would be great over ice cream or plain cake. In fact even better than the original plums. When it's time, I am deliberately going to buy too many plums -- for the rest of my life.
