Making

"Off the Cuff "

Plum Kuchen

or any other Kuchen!

I don't have a lot of time to fuss and have a busy schedule,
but I don't want to forget to make a Kuchen!
If you think about it.....what a wonderful way to get your fruit intake.

I know myself well enough that when I am weak, after dinner
and watching TV that I will want a sweet treat.
I know I can go to my Kuchen which is made with fresh fruit and decent ingredients.

So I have devised a way to make a kuchen with self rising flour to save a few steps.
(Also how to make your own self rising flour)
I also don't measure much or fuss with an exact recipe, which I encourage you to do,
as the kuchen dough does not need to be totally exacting as some baked items. 
My Grandma didn't measure most of the time for this. 

So maybe you will see it is not that much work, and you don't need to set aside
a whole morning or afternoon to do it. You can also do it in steps,
The fruit when you have a few minutes, then the crust and bake.

In this newsletter I am going to make a plum kuchen
but you can use this for any kind of fruit you see that is a good buy,
I of course favor, apples, plums, peaches, but don't leave out, banana's,
oranges straweberries and more.

I am using videos because I am not really using a recipe here,
just going "Off the Cuff". If you want the recipe with pictures is provided.

Get creative. Kuchen is a palate for your fruit artistry.

Plums just happen to be a family favorite so when I see them at a good price I get them.
