Plums Dried with Sugar

Cut open plums of some sweet variety, but do not remove stones. Place on plates and sprinkle sugar over fruit, setting in a slow oven. The sugar will be absorbed by the plums, when add more sugar and repeat as long as there is juice sufficient to take it up. Pack in layers in jars. TO DRY PLUMS WHOLE ("American Prunes") Take ripe purple plums and spread on earthen dishes. Dry in the sun, putting them out each day to dry eight or ten hours, or use a cool oven, turning the fruit over frequently.
