At the grocery store the other day I took a chance and purchased a couple of
lemon plums. What a find. I tried one this morning for breakfast and it's so delicious, with a sweet, citrus, and tangy flavor, and very fragrant. The plums were slightly yellow in color when I purchased them. They ripened to a beautiful sunset red orange color in a day or two in my home. They're more of a lemon color inside.
The fruit is a rare plum imported from Chile and is only available sporadically in the month of February. The shape reminds me of the
elephant heart plums I grew in California. Perhaps they're related. I'm running back to the grocery to see if I can get more lemon plums before the supply is gone. Still don't know how to use the macro on Gary's camera, these are not in focus but at least you get the idea of what the plum looks like. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
