A small, dark purple plum with a marked astringency; eaten fresh it stays sour, and its real quality appears only when cooked. In England it is the classic plum for jams, jellies and fruit liqueurs. The stone clings to the flesh.

Consumption tip

Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
