The Sugar plum is a large oblong-shaped variety, often exhibiting a powdery white bloom on its otherwise purplish-blue skin. The thin snappy skin encases a firm yet juicy flesh that holds a central pit that is easily removed. When raw, the pulp is a greenish amber color but turns a deep shade of fuchsia when cooked. The dense texture of the Sugar plum is full of rich, complex, and appropriately confectionary sweet flavors that deepen as the fruit ripens.
Although most Sugar plums are dried to a prune state, they are considered a multi-purpose plum. They are great for fresh eating, for using as a dessert ingredient, processed into jam and preserve form, and simply added to sweet and savory salads. Complimentary sweet flavors include vanilla, nutmeg, tropical fruits, chocolate, butter, and citrus. Savory pairings include mild fresh cheeses such as chevre and ricotta, herbs such as arugula, chiles, fennel and basil, bacon, lamb, and grilled seafood such as shrimp and scallops. To store, refrigerate ripe fruit for up to one week.
