My husband is Slovakian and my very favorite thing is Gomboce or plum dumplings. His mother makes hers with a potato dough and tops with bread crumbs fried in butter. The best plums I've found in the US are the Italian prune plums. Not often available, though. Most other kinds are too juicy and cause the fumpling to fall apart. Cheers. Love your site!

The local Italian grocery always has fresh ground poppyseed available (black, of course :) and not in a can) and it is very easy to find the little blue plums here in the fall when they are in season. Almost every Slovak and Italian family here had a plum tree in the yard! My grandmother would use them in her buchty along with the cottage cheese type.

As I said before my parents came from Slovakia. The plums you are talking about are also known as "Italian Plums", "Prunes" or "Fresh Prunes". They seem to have a short season. They come out in the stores in September. Many of us do not have metric scales. When you post recipes can you post then in U.S. measure? Hi Lubos, love the site.
