Notes & Wine Advice

Pluums Aren’t Just Plums

This stone fruit, which originated in Asia Minor and which was brought to Europe by the Romans in 150 BCE, is as appetizing as it is good for digestion. It can be found in about 2,000 varieties, particularly around the Mediterranean and in Central Europe. The most important are the cherrysized, orange mirabelle plum, the commonly found Prunus domestica, the yellow-green, firm greengage, and the sweet, juicy damson. All four varieties are suited to sweet cooking, however the damson is the classic plum for sweet Austrian cooking.

Notes & Wine Advice

You can make gooseberry marmalade with the same recipe. In this case, replace the orange zest with lemon zest or a splash of white wine.

Sweet or Tart?

The refreshingly sour redcurrant is well suited to cakes, marmalade, gelatin, and tortes. Blackcurrants, with their distinctive sharp, sweet taste are more for marmalade and gelatin than baked goods. On the other hand, the less common (and milder) white currant is perfect for eating.
