I never thought that plums and chocolate will pair well. I will have to give this a try!

Let us know when your book comes out. What a great theme! Do you really have to skin the plums? I do like peeling peaches, but I find plum skins closer to blueberries. Their skins do not trouble me.

The book is available via amazon and other online venues.
As for peeling the plums, I guess it's a matter of personal preference.
