My grandmother used to make this gorgeous plum flummery every summer, and I'm so glad I kept her recipe. It's a lovely old fashioned dessert that comes together in just twenty minutes total, making it perfect for when you want something elegant without spending hours in the kitchen. Plums are packed with fiber and antioxidants, so you can feel good about serving this fruity treat to your family. The beauty of this recipe is its simplicity: just a handful of pantry staples and fresh plums create something that tastes like you fussed all day. The gelatin gives it that delicate, cloud like texture that makes people think you're quite the baker, and the bright lemon juice brings out the natural sweetness of the fruit.

Dissolve the gelatin in 1/2 cup of hot water in a bowl, and stir in the cooled plums, sugar, and lemon juice. Mix until the gelatin and sugar have dissolved. Chill the plum mixture in refrigerator until it begins to thicken, about 30 minutes. Whip the evaporated milk in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer until thick, then gently spoon the whipped milk into the plum mixture. Beat again with electric mixer until the dessert is fluffy and well combined. Chill for at least 3 hours before serving.
