Mirabelle plums are small, sweet fruits that belong to the Prunus domestica species, commonly known as the European plum. They are typically yellow or golden in color, with a smooth skin and a juicy, flavorful flesh. These plums are primarily grown in France, particularly in the Lorraine region, where they are celebrated for their unique taste. The fruit is often used in jams, jellies, and desserts, and can also be fermented to produce mirabelle plum brandy. Mirabelle plums are usually harvested in late summer and are enjoyed fresh or preserved. Their sweet flavor makes them a popular choice for culinary uses.
