You can cold or hot smoke fruit & vegetable, or grill them with a little smoke. Be careful with the amount of time/smoke you place the plums in. Being a soft fruit, plums will l absorb the smoke very fast, so it's easy to over smoke them.

As for use, anything you would use fruits for - BBQ sauce, drinks, pies, cakes, meat/vegetable sauce, etc. Just substitute your plums for the indicated fruit in the recipe.

Since plums are a soft fruit, similar to peaches, review various grilling/smoker recipes for peaches and other soft fruits so you find on a web search. This is how I found the link below and the attachment.

Above all have fun with them and experiment. Also, post some pictures/recipes you make along with the lessons learned. John
