Passion Plum

Passion Plum Farmer's Market Collection 2010

Plum fruit tastes sweet and/or tart; the skin may be particularly tart. It is juicy and can be eaten frefsh or used in jam-making or other recipes. Plum juice can be fermented into plum wine; when distilled, this produces a brandy known in Eastern Europe as Slivovitz, Rakia, Tuica or Palinka. Dried plums are also known simply as prunes.
