    This was delicious!! Maybe a little runny but that can be changed by cutting the water in half. Excellent over regular yogurt but even more amazing over frozen yogurt!! - 10/23/09

    I'm glad you liked it. You know...you're right that it can be a bit "juicy", which I like. I would add a little bit of cornstarch-- like a teaspoon or two while it's cooking. That should thicken it right up!

    Nice. Might not need that much sugar. - 1/20/21

    One of my favorite things to do with plums-I love them over pancakes! - 7/21/13

    The Italian Prunes really make a difference. I had tried this several times with generic plums and with Red Haven peaches, and it was really good, but this time I made it with the Italian Prunes and it was phenomenal. - 8/22/12

    I've been making plum juice, but this sounds like something I would like to have on hand. - 8/13/12

    To thicken the juice you also could use tapioca on which I was raised. I think I prefer using less water. - 9/10/11

    This was so good. I did not have frozen yogurt, so I ate it over vanilla ice cream and it was great. The only thing I changed was the water. I only added 1/2 cup. - 3/2/10
