Hello everyone!

Here is a recipe that my Mom send me from Germany and it works great! I just
substituted the wheat flour for Bette Hagman's GF mix and added some xanthan
gum. I apologize for the measurements being in gramms, I hope most of you
have a scale.

The plums used are the ones we grow in Germany. I believe they are called
prune plums, they are small and blue. I found them at Publix and in the
north they are probably easier to get than here in GA.

If anyone still has questions or trouble with my translated description, let
me know.

Enjoy!

Greetings from GA,
Kerstin
