Search of the lowly Sand Plum

I love sand plum butter - so I was determined to find some sand plums. I was told because of the late freeze there probably wouldn't be any sand plums this year. Now why would anyone in their right mind want to go out in the wild among the ticks, chiggers, and other critters to find the lowly sand plum?? Me! I love sand plum butter. Here we go out to the country.


Not too far away from town, on the North side of the river.

Wait -- there are some sand plum bushes.. Are there any plums??


Yep!! There's one.

Actually I found more that one, but there isn't an abundance of sand plums. But if I gather a few each day or so - I should have enough to make a batch of sand plum butter. YUM
