pbranch, I suggest that you bottle your plums in a syrup then when wanting to serve them try this way - it's so easy but so delicious.
BRANDIED PLUMS 1 x 850g can plums, drained and the syrup reserved ¼ tsp ground cinnamon 2 whole cloves 2 tbsp brandy
Into a small saucepan place the reserved syrup, cinnamon and cloves.Simmer the spiced syrup for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, carefully halve and stone the plums, then place the plums into a serving dish. After the 5 minutes simmering time, add the brandy to the syrup, then strain the hot syrup over the plums and refrigerate the Brandied Plums until cold. A serving suggestion is to serve the plums in individual dishes, topped with whipped cream and a sprinkling of cinnamon - done this way, they will serve 4- 6.
Hope that helps.:-))

You can always freeze them to make sauce or jam at a later date.

Had plums in Pinot noir while we were in Central Otago recently and they were delicious. I expect google could find a recipe. I would have tried these if our plum tree had made more or an effort.
