Sweet dark plums are wrapped in a potato dough, and boiled before rolling in sweetened toasted bread crumbs. My Austrian grandmother made these delicious dessert dumplings for us every fall. These take some time to make, but to me, they're well worth the effort.

My dad used to make the best Peach Dumplings. Some people make them with a bread dough. My Dad made his with a potato dough. The peach was wrapped in the dough and dropped into boiling water to cook. When they were served you would cut them up and sprinkle them with crushed vanilla wafers, sugar and melted butter. We ate them as a meal even though they sound like a desert. Again, different ways to serve them my friend's mother sprinkled hers with ricotta cheese and sugar.

I can never resist a tart, tempting slice of this beautiful pie. It's a down-home dessert that makes any meal special. This pie is a terrific way to put bountiful summer plums to use. --Michelle Beran, Claflin, Kansas

The crust for this is amazing, combining luscious things like sour cream, heavy cream, butter, heaps of sugar and lemon zest. When it 's rolled out and fitted into a pie tin, it 's filled with sugared plums sprinkled with nutmeg and cinnamon. Then it 's topped with a brown sugar and spice streusel, and baked.

We have a plum tree in our yard, and some years it's so full of fruit that its branches have to be propped up. I always make one or two tarts to freeze for later.

This is fresh peaches wrapped in a rich flakey dough. Topped with a teaspoon of hard sauce after baked. No sugar is used on the peaches, just the sauce. Sugar free ice cream could be used instead of hard sauce.
