I know what you just thought -”Whats with this girl and plums!” I agree you have every right to ask this question seeing that I have been going on and on about Plums in this month. But then hey, I have valid reasons. I know that I was all excited about those plums in my backyard but I forgot one vital thing in the midst of traveling down the memory lane and the like….See the pics below to know what my problem is.
Yes LOTS OF PLUMS! The only thing that is left for me to do is to pick them in a basket and open a stall at the local Farmer’s market! I certainly dint bargain for this!:) Anyways not one to complain, I use them often now in my diet and hence don’t be surprised if you see plums more and more in this space for a while. And hey! You have to make your friends happy and so when Mansi specifically asked for it, I had to do it and that too pronto since the deadline for SHF: Fruits and Nuts is today and the pictures are fresh from the oven!
The original recipe has butter, eggs, refined sugar and not so much plums and nuts. I rectified all that in this recipe where there is no butter, no eggs, used less refined Demerara sugar, lots of plums and lots of pecans! You can substitute walnuts for pecans. Healthy, fruity and nutty – doesn’t get better than this.
Method
In a bowl, mix sugars, vegetable oil and lemon zest.
In another bowl combine the flour, baking soda and salt
Now slowly combine the flour into the sugar mixture alternating with buttermilk until smooth
Add the plums and stir well.
Pour it out into a greased loaf pan
Sprinkle with the topping
and bake in 350F oven for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean
Cool for about 10min before removing from the pan.
Cool completely on a wire rack, slice
and enjoy

Lovely combo of plum and pecans. Loved the pic as well. Very well illustrated.
I’m guessing this same recipe could be duplicated with other fruits, too. It looks great, girl!
That looks too too good!!
Loved that cute loaf..Looks yummy..
Oh! so you will send your entry only If I specifically ask for it! Amma, thaye unga entry anupungama ennoda eventukku.
I have never tried baking with plums. Made a pickle once. It tasted just like tomato thokku. Lovely bread Dhivi.
A has got bronchitis and he has given the cold to me. I’m sitting unable to lie down, stuffy nose. I think it’s sivarathiri today.
cha cha unakku kodukamaya – event deadline yeppo? heyyyyyyyyyyy I can send this one tooo!!!! cha semma bulb pa! Will send this one – its low fat and eggless and healthy!
actually I had one muffin for you – so my remarkable brain dint parse that I cud send this one too!
Ippo dhaan cold left me! K gave it to me
That surely sucks – hope u get better soon and I hope its not a sivarathiri for you….sleep well da..
Gosh this is so good and screams summer. I bet it it’s great with tea or coffee.
I just bought a bag full of plums, tempted to try this out!
Wow,Great for teatime.BTW,one q- why mix sugar with the wet mix,rather than the dry one? I always thght sugar has to be with flour-soda mix? Anyway the loaf looks REALLY REALLY GOOD.
Now I think you will be on a plumming spree -Enjoy
Looks absolutely delicious, never baked with plums. I feel like bringing in a basket to your back yard for plums.
Another great fruit loaf! I just think you are blessed to have plums/fruits on your property! I live in Ontario, Canada & let me tell you… you don’t see much of that stuff over here
( . My country of origin is Argentina so I know what it was like to have them in my backyard as a kid & couldn’t wait to pick them. Compote ( dessert made of whole or pieces of fruit in sugar syrup) is what my mom used to make once we got tired of eating them, no way we would let them go to waste, tee heee
Lucky you! I wouldn’t mind having an abundance of plums or lemons! I love this bread and it’s perfect for the summer!
They look perfect DK! and just in time as I have tonnes of plums to pick this weekend!:) I love the addition of buttermilk!
Thanks so much for baking this especially for me!:) now if only I could actually taste it too..aah!!!
i went to my local market today and they don’t carry plums yet. Booohoo can’t wait to try your wonderful plum and pecan bread!
Send it Dhivi. Couldn’t sleep until 3am, so slept this afternoon, so not able to sleep tonight too. It’s a circle.
Personal plum tree?? Nice!!! That’s pure luxury, to me
Not really personal – its our house owner’s who graciously allowed us to use the fruits
yummy, dk. are you not part of the DBers anymore?
I still am..what gave you that idea?
I too was thinking about the plum tree and thought maybe you have bought a house.
No – No – I think I should update the post!
But its really a lucky deal – I never ever got to grow even in small herb/plant my entire life and I was so J of K since he had done all gardening thingy’s when this place happened – the owners had everything done for us!! Its their garden – I just ‘heap’ their ‘reward’! hehe. Its like good result without working for it madhiri- isnt that cool! 
I always though lady luck just dint know of my address – guess she did for the first time ever!!!!
Chef DK, I found some fine pecans and plums in the market and made some pecan plum bread!
How tasty! Thanks for the wonderful photos, too. – Chana
This is a great recipe. I am not a fan of wet bread, and this one is definitely wet. It didn’t cook thoroughly, so the outside was crispy while the center was soggy; I couldn’t cook it any longer otherwise it was going to burn. I don’t know how to fix it. It tastes good though. I wouldn’t mind making it again.
Thanks for the recipe!
