NewsSharing Our Recipes Courtesy of Patricia Bolger PLUM KUCHEN I got this recipe at the Corn Palace in Mitchell South Dakota. It was a quick stop off the I90 on one of our westward journeys. This town had an amazingly large community building completely faced with corncobs! Of course we had to stop and, surprisingly there was a display of local products laid out in the arena and basketball court. "The Big Guy" and I browsed around. That is where I picked up this amazing recipe for a quick dessert! I serve the Kuchen warm or cooled with a generous amount of 10% cream, vanilla ice cream, whipped cream or vanilla yoghurt. When the Kuchen is baked, it is about 1 1/2" thick with the plums showing through the batter. you will want to arrange the fruit so that when you slice the Kuchen each slice will have a piece of fruit. You can easily substitute peaches or apples Enjoy! |  |
