Mirabelle Plum
Origin: Originally cultivated from a wild plum from Asia Minor, the Mirabelle Plum is now a speciality grown in the French region of Lorraine which produces 80% of the global consumption. Mirabelle, derived from Mirabel in Latin, means beautiful and wonderous.
Uses: Two main cultivars are grown: the Nancy and the Metz. The Nancy is eaten mostly as a fresh fruit while the Metz is used principally in jams.
