If you have spent any time in northern NM during this time of the year you have probably smelt the unavoidable smell of the native plum blossoms. They are one of my favorite aromas of all time, that vary with the terrain. Their smell reminds me of sweet milky white corn and their blossoming reminds me of the beginning of the tradition of flooding of our pastures via the acequias ( diverted river water ). The blossoms with raw milk from our cow Dolores, and eggs from our chickens is very hard to beat. 

While the native plum blossoms are my favorite, any plum blossoms should work in place in this recipe.
