Methley "Sugar" Plums

These little plums earn that nickname. Methley plums are one of the sweetest varieties out there — deep reddish-purple skin with juicy, blood-red flesh that's mild, low in acidity, and almost candy-sweet. They're on the smaller side but the flavor punches well above their weight. Eat them fresh out of hand, toss into a summer salad, or just keep a bag in the fridge for snacking. Early season and limited — they go quick.
