Several years ago, I was looking for a recipe to take advantage of our bumper crop of plums and came across a recipe for roasted plums. After tweaking it a bit, I have developed a very versatile version that my family and friends love. Season with ground white pepper and use it as a side dish for pork or chicken. Sprinkle with toasted almonds and spoon it over vanilla bean ice cream, angel food, or pound cake for dessert! Play around with the spice combination by adding cloves, allspice, or cayenne. Be adventurous!

This hearty steak and kidney pie is a meal in itself! Perfectly seasoned beef and potatoes simmer in a rich gravy beneath a flaky crust for a comforting, hearty old-fashioned pie. I like to use milder flavored lamb kidneys instead of beef.
