| 01/09/10 : Mirabelle, as lovely as the day |
 The Mirabelle plum offers its golden sugary fruit at dawn in the last days of August. Its small size, chubby shape and juicy flesh make it the pleasure fruit of the end of summer which can be eaten right through to the end of September. 70% of Mirabelle plum production is commercialiosed as jam or preserves. This is where it gives off the best of its flavour. This plum comes from the Lorraine, its production region, and it has developed to the point of becoming a PGI - Protected Geographical Indication (EC). Captured at the height of its aroma, the Mirabelle conjures up the old-fashioned jams that Comtes de Provence have so well perfected in thier inimitable recipe, with a drip of fruit liqueur to set off its generous traditional flavour.
