Plum Butter Festival


The annual “Latwerch fest,” or plum butter festival, takes place from 10 a.m. to

6 p.m. Sunday in Morbach (part of Niederkirchen, north of Otterberg), Hochstrasse 18.

Different types of fruit butter will be offered for tasting and purchase: plum butter, diet butter, apple, bear and mirabelle butter. All the butter was made by Helga Ullinger and her helpers based on an original recipe from her grandmother.

Also available will be Latwerch cookies based on Ms. Ullinger’s great grandmother’s recipe. Home made cakes and coffee will be served all day long and at noon, a traditional Palatinate dish will be served: potato soup with plum cake.
