Request For Sand Plum Jelly & Other Recipes

The Prairie Connection (Email: wepreserve@balmerfund.org) through Rosalea Hostetler is requesting, "Sand Plum Jelly and other recipes to feature in the near future issue of the Prairie Connection.

Rosalea also says, "Yesterday (Easter) I took the slow, back road south of Anthony, thru Manchester, Nash and Carrier on my way to OK City for Easter dinner with my sister-in-law, Lawanda McClaflin Hostetler Allison (my brothers widow). The roadsides were filled with the most amazing lush large bushes of blooming sand plums! They were simply stunning and beautiful, like a gigantic picture book!

"I can't remember what month they will be ripe for plucking, but my mouth was watering thinking of some of the jellies, jams and butters I've had in the past. Also, does anyone have any recipes where they are used in baking?

"Yes, I could probably get some off the Internet, but it's a lot more fun to have REAL people make the suggestions! Also, if there is a small rural gift shop that sells jars of the goodies, it would be fun to mention it!"
