Prune Plums
The coveted plum has been cultivated since ancient times and was brought to North America by the early settlers. Upon arriving in their new world, they must have been surprised to find plums already growing throughout the eastern coastal region. The native people had been enjoying this rich and colourful fruit for hundreds of years!
Deep blue-purple with smooth skins, prune plums are delightful eaten fresh or in crisps, tarts, sauces, and jams. Usually available in mid-August and lasting well into September.
