I bought homemade plums at the market. The lady gave me a taste, they were delicious. Apart from dumplings, I had the idea to make a cake out of them, but at home for breakfast I also made porridge for our youngest out of the leftovers. Prunes have a slight laxative effect. They also help with digestion thanks to the fibre. Prunes are topical, excellent as antioxidants. Vitamins A, B, C, E and K, potassium iron, protein…awesome fruit. Since these vitamins are fat soluble, I also added 1 tablespoon of canola nativ oil to the porridge. It also contains lots of vitamin E and K, but also a balanced amount of omega saturated 3 and 6 acids. You can add the plum to the porridge in a number of ways: smother it in water, chopped into chunks, and add oatmeal, or a base for the porridge. The porridge will then turn a nice pink colour. Or boil the porridge and make a sweet reduction from the plums, that is, boil them stewed in water to form jam. Then it’s a good idea to add chia seeds or chopped nuts or fragrant herbs like basil or thyme. You get a touch of unusualness. And yes, you can feed your baby from a year old onwards with porridge like this too. (For mini babies, I blend the nuts into a porridge so they don’t run out). I add such a mixture on top of the porridge. If I make the porridge for myself, I pour honest maple syrup over it.
1.
Dice the plums and cut them into cubes or smaller pieces. Simmer in water so that they retain their chunks but are soft and can be mashed with a fork if necessary (if you are making porridge for a baby).
2.
Add the water mixed with the oatmeal. Boil for about 5 minutes and stir.
3.
The porridge is ready. You can add butter or ghee to soften…
4.
TIP: apples, blueberries, or even finely grated carrots are delicious with plums.
