I made these when I picked up some juicy looking plums from a farmers market. Don't get me wrong, the recipe was good... but it just wasn't our thing. The flavor was just different enough for my husband to say, "I'll eat this and it's good, but it's not my favorite." But if you're a person who likes sweet and sour, fruit with meat, you'll probably love it, and it's not bad on calories.
