No. The sugar inside plums is fructose which is hard to crystalise. It may turn into a thick, viscous syrup if isolated though.

What are sugar crystals made of?
Sugar crystals form from over saturated sugar in the mixture.
Why sugar crystals cannot be obtained by evaporation?
Technically, yes, but if you cook it, you'll end up with caramel because the sugar will start to brown before all the liquid evaporates. You can let sugar-water evaporate over several days at room temperature and you'll be left with sugar crystals (or rock candy) in the bottom and sides of the jar. We did this in school when I was a kid. My brother's worked, but mine was discovered by ants and had to be discarded :( As an adult, I would have thought to cover it with cheese cloth or something to allow the moisture out but to keep insects from getting in.
How to make a crystal?
Take normal sugar and add it to boiling water. Add as much as the water will hold. Put a string or thin stick in the mixture and let it cool and set for many days. The resulting crystals are an example of how nature makes crystals over much longer timescales. If you want a bigger crystal, repeat the experiment while letting the string or stick from the previous experiment bathe in the mixture.
What happens to the process of dissolving if heat is decreased?
First of all, "heat is decreased" means the container in which you are trying to dissolve something is being cooled down. When molecules heat up they gain energy and move faster. If you are trying to dissolve sugar in water, for instance, heating up the water will cause its molecules to move faster and collide with the sugar crystals, which have many molecules in them, more often. This means the crystals break up faster, and the sugar dissolves faster. Conversely, if "heat is decreased" the water molecules slow down and don't have as much energy. They don't collide with the sugar crystals as often and the sugar doesn't break up as fast. End result: decreasing the heat means dissolving takes longer. Increasing means dissolving is faster.
What happens when a spoonful of sugar is held over a candle flame?
The sugar will dissolve into the water and the whole thing will start heating up. To get the sugar back you can evaporate the water which lets the water go away but leaving behind the sugar.
Will sugar crystals grow in soda?
Sugar crystals are suspended in the carbonated liquid. The only way that the crystals will accumulate is through evaporation and condensation. Open a can of soda and it will over a variable amount of time grow sugar crystals.

Is Clara the sugar plum fairy?
The Sugar Plum fairy is a character in the ballet "The Nutcracker" by Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky. In the ballet, the Sugar Plum fairy rules over the land of sweets while she waits for the return of the prince, who has been turned into a nutcracker.
Can you put sugar crystals in the freezer two speed up the time?
I don't know but here are some tips: Saturation A fully saturated solution will allow crystals to grow faster and bigger. Saturation refers to the amount of sugar molecules in the solution; the more sugar, the more saturated it is. There is a limit to saturation because the water can only hold so much sugar. Add more sugar, 1 tbsp. at a time to the hot water until the sugar can no longer dissolve. Stop adding the sugar when it begins to pool on the bottom, even when it is reheated and stirred. Seed Crystals Using seed crystals will help speed up the sugar crystal growth. Seed crystals are like starter crystals; they are an advanced boost and will make your crystal form faster than just using a bare string or stick. A seed can be made using a string or a large piece of melted, hardened sugar. To make a seed, dip the string or stick into the saturated sugar solution and allow it to harden completely. When dry, lower the seeded string into the jar. Waiting The best tip for growing sugar crystals is to wait. The longer you wait, the larger the crystal will grow. A crystal should form after one week, and after two to three weeks it will be much larger. Have patience and place a protective covering such as foil or plastic wrap over the jar to protect it from air and dust.

How do you make large salt crystals for a salt grinder from fine table salt?
Well, I remember when i was a child, i used to take water and sugar and mix it in a jar, then i would tie a peice of string around a stick then place the stick horizontally over the top of the jar, and let the string dangle into the sugar water. After the watter evaporated there would be sugar crystals. I'm not sure if this will work but its worth a try! :) Hope this helps!

What are the steps to making sugar crystals?
Steps to Make Sugar Crystel:Tie a string around a Popsicle stick and cut cotton or wool string to 3/4 length of the jar you will use.Heat a small amount of water to boiling and stir in as much sugar as possible. It will take more sugar than you think! Usually the ratio is 3 cups of sugar for every cup of water, but it could vary.When no more sugar will dissolve in the water, let the sugar solution cool a little bit and pour it into a clean glass jar. If there is some sugar on the bottom that won't dissolve, try not to pour the undissolved sugar into the jar.Hang the string in the jar of solution by placing the Popsicle stick over the top of the glass. Again, the string should be cut so there is some room between the string and the bottom of the jar.Put the jar in a safe place for a few days. You will start to see the sugar crystals form on the hanging string. They will continue to grow for a little over a week. You can remove it from the jar, once it has reached a good size.
Where did plums originate?
Plums were first domesticated in China over 2,000 years ago. The modern European plum probably originated in the Caucasus Mountains and were brought to Canada, via France, in 1771 and about the same time by the British in Colonial America.
