Tips for Preparing and Cooking
Plums are delicious eaten as is. If the plums
have been in the refrigerator, allow them to
approach room temperature before eating them as this will help them attain the maximum juiciness and sweetness. If you want to first remove the pit before eating or cooking, cut the plum in half lengthwise, gently twist the halves in opposite directions and then carefully take out the pit.
Plums can also be used in a variety of recipes

to remove the skin, this process can be made
easier by first blanching the plum in boiling
water for 30 seconds. Once you remove the fruits from the water, quickly run them under cold water before peeling to stop the blanching
process and allow for easier handling.
