Chef Nancy Berkoff, EdD, RD, previously wrote about\npreparing vegan dishes using late summer fruit (melons, peaches, apricots,\netc.) in her Vegan Cooking Tips column that appears in each issue of Vegetarian Journal<\/em>. For example, for\nplums she suggests: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCreative treats using\nplums may take a bit more work, but they are worth it! Create a plum pie by\npitting and slicing ripe plums. Be warned that this process can be a bit messy.\nPreheat your oven to 400 degrees. Place plums in a pot and heat with a small\namount of apple juice, cooking until just mushy. Pour the plum filling into a\nfrozen pie crust and bake for approximately 20 minutes or until crust is\ngolden. Allow to cool before serving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plums also make a\ngreat fruit compote. Place sliced, pitted plums in a pot with sliced apples and\ndried apricots. Just cover with water. Cook slowly over a low flame. Season\nplum mixture to taste with fresh or powdered ginger, orange zest, and cinnamon.\nIf you need more sweetness, add some maple syrup or orange juice concentrate.\nCook until all of the fruit is very soft. Pour into airtight containers and\nrefrigerate. Your compote will last for at least four weeks in the\nrefrigerator. Stir compote into hot cereal; top sorbet with it; serve it as a\ncondiment with grilled tofu, seitan, or tempeh; or create your own rice dessert\nby mixing cooked, steamed rice with the compote and a splash of rice or\nsoymilk.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
