Cherry Plum

When bitten through the incredibly thin skin of the cherry plum, the unexpectedly delicate texture matches the robust flavour and bright red colour, which together produce a delicious and balanced taste with an initial rush of sweetness and a somewhat tangy and sour aftertaste.

STORAGE

Cherry plums should not be stored in the fridge until they are fully ripe; leaving them to ripen at room temperature will make the them tastier and juicier. Once ripe , the fruits can be kept for an additional 3 to 5 days. To get the best flavour, bring them back to room temperature before eating.

FUN FACTS & TIPS

Do you know why cherry plums are rarely peeled? Leaving the skin on the plums not only saves time, but also improves the flavour, as the skin contains many fragrances and aromas. Also, the peel can add a little colour to your recipes. If you still want it peeled, you can put them in boiling water for about 15 seconds, then quickly plunge them into cold water and peel the skin off easily.
