In this case, the yummiest plums at the market now are juicy and not as firm as they should be for this recipe. To compensate, I buy a mixture of both with about half being the firmer more easily quartered plums that will keep their integrity and look pretty on the plate. The rest I choose for flavor and allow them to cook to a delicious sauce.

One variation is to roast Anaheim or Poblano chilies, choice depends on your heat tolerance, steam in a bag as described. Peel and tear into long thin strips. Toss with the lime juice and a pinch of salt and pepper. Crumble some feta cheese or queso fresca and toss. I have added chopped cilantro on occasion and I have also substituted lemon juice - It is yummy all ways.
