Questions about Mirabelle plum
How do you choose ripe mirabelle plums?
Choose fruit with golden-yellow skin, often dotted or flushed with red, that feels plump and gives slightly when pressed. A sweet fragrance is a good sign; avoid fruit that is bruised or split.
Do you need to peel mirabelle plums before cooking?
No. Rinse them, halve them and remove the stones; the thin skins soften during cooking and help the fruit hold its shape.
How do you make a mirabelle plum tart?
Halve and stone the fruit, then arrange it cut-side up on pastry. Bake at 180°C for about 30–40 minutes, until the pastry is golden and the fruit is tender.
What can you make with mirabelle plums besides tart?
They make a fragrant jam, compote and fruit crumble. For compote, simmer stoned fruit with a splash of water for about 10 minutes, until it collapses but still has some texture.
How should you store mirabelle plums?
Keep firm fruit at room temperature until it yields slightly to gentle pressure, then refrigerate it and use within a few days. If very ripe, refrigerate straight away.
Can you freeze mirabelle plums?
Yes. Wash, halve and stone them, then freeze the halves in a single layer on a tray; once solid, transfer them to a sealed freezer bag. Use them straight from frozen in compote, jam or baking.
What can you use instead of mirabelle plums in a recipe?
Use greengages or ordinary plums, halved and stoned; both work well in tarts and compotes. Greengages are especially close in sweetness and texture.
