Plums. A highly sophisticated, yet highly underestimated fruit. Plums were one of th first fruits domesticated by humans, yet they are often forgotten. Plums have a mild sweet flavor and pair well with poultry. Their soft flesh makes them ideal for soaking in alcohol. If you’ve never enjoyed a plum, soak in an alcohol of your choice (or just start with vodka) and you might just have found your new favorite fruit.
