Mirabelle Plums, Frozen, +/-2kg

Frozen Mirabelle plums are small golden-yellow fruits known for their naturally sweet, honey-like flavour with delicate floral notes. Their taste is subtly tangy, creating a beautiful balance that makes them versatile for both sweet and savoury dishes. When thawed, the plums retain their soft yet slightly firm texture, releasing a fragrant aroma reminiscent of summer orchards.

The freezing process locks in their natural sugars and freshness, ensuring they can be enjoyed all year round, even outside their short harvest season. Frozen Mirabelle plums are wonderfully adaptable in the kitchen, offering a burst of sunshine to a variety of dishes. They can be used straight from frozen or gently thawed, depending on the recipe.
