Ginger Plum Noodle Toss

Author Notes: Recently I've been experimenting with different ways to use cellophane noodles and found I enjoy them with a spicy fruit mixture. The noodles absorb the flavor and color of the particular fruit used. Last month we had several varieties of plums in the garden. I used the Santa Rosas for this recipe and paired them my favorite spice-ginger, adding another kick with a touch of hot pepper. - REC

Thanks for this recipe- I canned up a bunch of plum sauce last summer and want to do something special with it rather than just spread it on bread (although that has been quite a treat too!). This recipes looks like just the ticket. I think I'll make it to do something special for my sister's bachelorette party.
