Plums...

Date: October 10, 2012 09:31PM I have never been over the moon about plums. Prunes are a different story--love them. Always meh about plums. I bought some firm ones recently and they were sour and bland. They were round, if that means anything to you. However, I went to a different produce market last weekend and was able to procure some plums that were more oval-ish. And they had a softness and sweetness to them. One of them I put in my bad and promptly forgot to eat. It got even softer and I just ate it. DELICIOUS! A slight sour tang by the skin but lucious innards... Re: Plums...

despite the color i always find plums need to be good an ripe or they just dont taste good 
i used to ninja loot my neighbors yellow plum tree up untill he chopped it down to put a cement pad down for his boat *huge tears that day* i acutally would have paid for an excavator to dig it up an transplant it my yard had i known he was gonna commit treeacide that day

Oval ones are typically prune plums, from which prunes are made. Perhaps it is the potential prunes within them that draws you to these plums Re: Plums...

I wish this produce market was near my house! I happened upon it on my way home from yoga last Saturday but it's far north. Maybe in a couple of days I'll make a jackfruit and plum run...

Date: October 13, 2012 05:10AM Once I lived in a rented house that had a plum orchard in the back yard and there were about eight different kinds of plum trees. Purple, red, yellow, red and yellow - I only knew their tastes and colors, not their real names, but Oh so delicious! Ahhhhhhhhhh. I LOVE LOVE LOVE plums! And miss having them fresh off the trees. (But there are still a few figs on the tree outside my window - alas not for long)

Date: October 13, 2012 04:00PM The sweeter,more oval shaped ones are "italian plums" and they are only in season for a month or two, I believe. I foudn them sweeter and their skin more tender as well. There are also yellow/greenish plums, too, which are generally sweeter. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
