Preserved seedless plums
July 3, 2008
Filed under Asian Pantry

Bought on a whim at an Oriental food shop called The Big Little Store along Gilmore Avenue in Quezon City, I fully intended to eat these preserved plums as a snack. Then I chanced upon a wonderful recipe of scones with fruits and thought, “Why not preserved plums instead?” The result was delicious. Perhaps, it’s the licorice in the preserved plums.

These seedless plums are sold individually wrapped in 400-gram packs. P165 per pack. All natural ingredients (plums, orange peel, sugar, licorice and salt) with no preservatives added.
