1 lb. ripe plums (small, dark, Italian prune plums are best)
1/2 c. sugar
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1/4 tsp. almond extract

Pit and slice plums (do NOT peel them). Whirl in blender until smooth. Stir in other ingredients. Delicious as a topping on angel food cake, ginger bread, vanilla or peach ice cream, light puddings - such as snow pudding.
