The plum is a stone
fruit related to the peach,
cherry,
almond,
apricot, and nectarine.
Choose plums with a
pleasant smell. Plums will soften if left around, but will
not gain a nice ripe taste and smell, like other fruits.
When chopped up and
boiled down with sugar, plums make an excellent topping
for vanilla
ice cream.
Dried plums are called prunes.
