A windfall came my way today, about half a peck of pretty little golden plums, however they are very ripe. I'm trying to figure out which means of preservation would be best - the options I'm familiar with are canning, drying, and making jam. I don't have the freezer space to preserve quantities of food that way. I'm worried about canning them because of how ripe they are, I don't want them to fall to mush during the canning process. Any ideas from someone with more experience about what's best? Thanks!
