🍑 Candied plums, a generous fruit with a soft texture
Candied plums are valued for their pronounced fruity flavour and naturally tender flesh. The candying process enhances the aromatic profile of the plum while providing a soft and even texture, perfectly suited to pastry applications.
Their deep colour, ranging from dark red to purple, adds visual elegance to preparations. Candied plums offer a subtle balance between aromatic intensity and controlled sweetness.
Unlike dehydrated fruits , candied fruits are obtained through a gradual candying process. The natural water contained in the fruit is slowly replaced by sugar syrup, ensuring softness, stability and long shelf life.
