Picked a few before dinner today with DRC458.........lots of green ones yet.

Yeah, and we're looking forward to more. Thanks, Bobby! The wife was all fired up to start on the jelly this evening, then she ran off to some lame class at the YMCA. What's up with this exercise, staying in shape BS?!?!?!

George took us in 2008, we got 17gallons of Sand Plums. We also was introduced to one of the best Human Being I have ever met. George's not too bad either.lol

21lbs in an hour wasn't a bad haul! Think I'm just going to juice mine tonight and freeze it until I've got a bunch. Then just have one massive canning day. Seems like we canned every other day last year, and I got tired of washing canning supplies.

Every year I hear about sand plums. What are they? Yes I see pictures. Does one eat them off the tree? Or is jelly the only thing you can make? Where do I get jelly from? I never tried any before

 

[Oklahomabassin]

Jelly is made from the fruits juice. You can eat them off the bush, they grow on bushes.

Found west of I35 primarily.......they are very tart, even when ripe generally. They're not sweet like a regular plum.

 

[Dr. HK]

Can anyone tell me where to find some and a recipe to make some jelly myself? PM me please.

My area would be quiet the drive for you. They are fairly numerous along county roads and open pasture areas. I would check Lexington, and Thunderbird Lake area before making an 90 mile drive.
