The Utilization of Surplus Plums (Classic Reprint)

This book examines the innovative utilization of surplus plums, particularly in the Placer County region of California and the surrounding area. The text details a number of practical applications and processes developed by both the author and various local and regional organizations. These range from preserving through the use of freezing and cold storage, to the production of jams, jellies, butters, and even candies. The author draws on a detailed series of experiments conducted over three growing seasons to determine the viability and to provide detailed instructions on each of these methods of creating value from otherwise surplus fruit.
