My thoughts:
When Matt came dwelling from our local farm store maxim he had bought some mysterious picayune yellowish plums we were both intrigued. They were inwards add-on to thence sweetness inwards add-on to juicy inwards add-on to unlike whatever plum we had seen inwards the stores or farmers marketplace before. Influenza A virus subtype A picayune sleuthing revealed that they were mirabelle plums. While they tin concur upwards grown here, at that spot are some what rare inwards add-on to to a greater extent than ofttimes than non grown inwards add-on to eaten inwards France. Apparently inwards the Lorraine business office of French Republic they are made into ii things: jam inwards add-on to eau-de-vie, a type of fruit brandy. Since I am non lay to produce my ain brandy, I see I'd produce jam. I looked for jam recipes online precisely 95% were inwards French inwards add-on to used the to a greater extent than "casual" European approach to jam making. I see I'd percentage what I did to produce this French jam inwards the American, FDA-approved, to a greater extent than sterilized way. Now I know these plums tin concur upwards tricky to abide past times precisely they are worth seeking out. They are perhaps, the best plums I've eaten inwards add-on to the jam is unparalleled. I squall upwards your best bet for finding them (if you lot don't bring a tree yourself) is a farm store, pick-your-own farm, gourmet grocer or farmers market. Good luck!
