I must say that just today I started looking for an answer to, "Are you supposed to eat the plums from a purple leaf tree?" because my neighbor told me that a tree trimmer told him he shouldn't. I don't know for sure if you 'shouldn't' eat the plums, but I know for a FACT that you CAN eat the plums and not die. The reason I know this to be a fact is because I have been making jelly from those plums in my yard for years an all of my family has eaten the jelly, and nobody has died. :) I still don't know though if we should be eating the plums from these trees and why, or why not.
The plum tree in our backyard is heavy with ripe fruit.
How many large plums are in 1 measuring cup? about 6.9
Plums, apricots, and peaches are all pitted fruits so you could consider them cousins. In fact plums and apricots have been crossbred to make plumicots.
You don't. Dried plums are called prunes. Dates are an entirely different fruit.
You can make plums sweeter by allowing them to ripen fully on the tree before picking them, or by adding a sprinkle of sugar or honey before eating them.
To preserve plums effectively, you can either can them in a syrup or make them into jam. Canning involves boiling plums in a sugar syrup and sealing them in jars, while making jam involves cooking the plums with sugar until thickened. Both methods help preserve the plums for long-term storage.
