I'm glad you like the pictures. Thanks for identifying the plums! They were so good. I wish that that tree could be closer to me -- it was so full of fruit! I used once bought mirabelle plum jam almost a decade ago, but I haven't really had it since... What a treat to find an actual tree. :) Hello Danielle!

All your pictures are wonderful and make my mouth water! The little yellow-orange plums are called mirabelles in France, they grow mainly in Lorraine, in the East of France and they are used in jams, on tarts, and a nice liquor is also made with them. It’s also really just to eat them like that, straight from the tree. Hi! All your pictures are wonderful and make my mouth water!
