DRIED BLOOD PLUMS
Blood plums are delicious Japanese plums with bright red flesh. I usually can them, but I decided to try drying them, even though I couldn't find any instructions for doing so. Here is what I did, which was simple and produced dried plums with incredible flavor. I have included a photo sequence of the process.
