Seasonal fruit recipes for peach jam and plum cake

Seasonal fruit recipes offer ways to utilize late summer produce, including homemade peach jam and plum cake.

For peach jam, the process involves washing, peeling, and pitting ripe peaches, then pureeing them with lemon juice, jam fix, sugar, and cinnamon. The mixture is boiled continuously to achieve a thick, flavorful consistency suitable for toast, pancakes, or yogurt.

A soft plum cake can be prepared using halved, pitted plums placed atop a batter made of butter, sugar, eggs, sour cream, vanilla, and flour. The recipe suggests whipping egg whites to stiff peaks and folding them into the batter to ensure a light, fluffy texture.
