1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup sugar

Oof it was tooo tart! Maybe it was my plums’ fault, or maybe that is the taste of plum pie, but this was not my best pie ?? I will say it smelled wonderful in the oven!

A very good pie and simple to make. I have made it with just ordinary pastry on top and with the topping called for in the recipe. Both turned out good. I have two plum trees so this pie is a regular in our house.

Think this is the best tasting pie I have ever made, and I have made quite a few. Delicious!! I used prunes from our tree which is loaded with fruit this year. I took the pie to pot luck at Church and was the dessert that was eaten the most. One lady took a small piece home to freeze for her sister to bring back childhood memories. I plan on making another pie in a couple of days.

Absolutely delicious. I was looking for new plum recipes as there was a bumper crop of plums this year (Italian Prune). Excellent pie.

Fabulous pie! Very simple and delicious! We had tons of plums and didn't know what to do with them. This pie made a great 4th of July dessert.
