Frequently Asked Questions About Mirabelle plum
What is a Mirabelle plum, and what does it taste like?
A Mirabelle plum is a small, usually yellow plum with sweet, fragrant flesh. Ripe fruit can taste honeyed and gently floral, and it is eaten fresh or used in preserves, tarts, and other desserts.
When are Mirabelle plums in season?
Mirabelle plums are generally in season in late summer and early autumn. Their short harvest window varies by growing region and weather, so fresh fruit may be available only briefly at local markets.
How do you eat a Mirabelle plum?
Wash a Mirabelle plum, cut or bite around the stone, and discard the stone. Its thin skin is usually eaten rather than peeled; halving the fruit and removing the stone is a practical way to serve it.
How can you tell when a Mirabelle plum is ripe?
A ripe Mirabelle plum is typically golden yellow, fragrant, and slightly soft when gently pressed. Very firm fruit may need more time to ripen, while bruised, leaking, or moldy plums should be discarded.
How should you store Mirabelle plums?
Keep unripe Mirabelle plums at room temperature and refrigerate them once ripe. Leave them unwashed until you are ready to eat them, and handle them gently; use them promptly if they soften or show signs of spoilage.
Can you freeze Mirabelle plums?
Yes, Mirabelle plums freeze well for later cooking. Wash and dry them, remove the stones, and freeze the pieces in a single layer before transferring them to a sealed container. Thawed fruit softens, so it works best in baking or compote.
Can you make jam from Mirabelle plums?
Yes, Mirabelle plums make flavorful jam and preserves. Remove the stones before cooking the fruit, and adjust the sweetness to taste. They also work well in compote and as a filling for tarts.
What is the difference between Mirabelle plums and regular plums?
Mirabelle plums are a small, usually yellow variety of plum, unlike many larger red or purple plums. They are known for their sweet, aromatic flavor and are especially popular for preserves and baked desserts.
Can you eat the skin of a Mirabelle plum?
Yes, you can eat Mirabelle plum skin. It is thin and usually left on when the fruit is eaten fresh or cooked; rinse the plum under running water before eating it.
What can you use instead of Mirabelle plums in a recipe?
Use another sweet plum in place of Mirabelle plums in most recipes. Choose ripe yellow plums for a closer flavor and texture, or use red or purple plums while allowing for a slightly different sweetness and color.

What is Mirabelle plum?
A Mirabelle plum is a small, round, golden-yellow plum, closely associated with Lorraine in northeastern France, where it is grown and celebrated in season. Its thin skin surrounds soft, juicy flesh and a small stone. Enjoy it fresh, or use it in preserves, compotes and baked desserts such as tarts; in Lorraine, it is a familiar seasonal ingredient.
Sweet with a gentle honey-like tang, Mirabelle plums are easy to eat out of hand and pair well with plain yoghurt or porridge. They provide fibre and vitamin C, while remaining low in fat. For a simple snack, serve them fresh; if cooking them into a preserve or dessert, you can keep added sugar modest to let their natural sweetness come through.
