When plums are in season, I make this every other week. I originally adapted the recipe for use with chicken, but discovered it was even better with pork. I fixed it for 70 people for my granddaughter’s christening and everyone wanted the recipe.

My husband loved this meal. It was delicious, however more time consuming than I would prefer. It would be nice if it could be adapted down to one step, such as throwing it all in the crock pot.
