Yummy. But have not had a jam doughnut in years. My teeth can't take it anymore. Pity. Wife makes super plum jam. Mebbe I could get her to try the liqueur filling.

But why limit them to carneval?

 

Les Anges Déchus look fairly appetizing too .. how did they get in there?

I think limiting to a certain time of the year 'boosts the taste'. Overdoing your favourite meal makes it less tasty with time in my experience.

When the plums (we have the small and more sour variant called Zwetschge) are ripe we do Quetschekuche preferred down at the villages baking house.

The variant preferred by the kids is with Streusel (a crusty cover with pieces from a mix of butter, flour and sugar):

I would agree with that Chattius. I prefer to eat things in season, that is, when they are in season where I live. That way we get good quality. Imported fruit out of (our) season never seems quite right, though in some cases unavoibable (bananas don't do to well in our garden!).

I think I am out of tune with a system that says everything should be available all the time.

On the other hand my wife makes jam, and bottles fruit. Plum jam, and apples and pears for tarts are available at all times. If not always our own, at least processed in the best season here.

 

We have had so many appalling strawberries, for instance, in winter months!!
