Uses
Dried d'Agen plums have a higher acid content and more sugar which make it possible for these fruits to be dried with their pits intact without fermenting. These plums can be used in sweet and savory dishes similar to the way figs or dates are used. To reconstitute dried plums, place the fruit with an minimal amount of liquid to hydrate in a small saucepan and simmer for 7 to 10 minutes, do not boil as skins will split.
Selection, Storage & Handling
After opening, transfer plums to an airtight container. Store them in a cool, dry place or in the refrigerator for up to six months.
