Description:
A home orchard favorite, the Elephant Heart plum is as big on taste as its name suggests. Heart shaped, its yellow-green exterior hides watermelon red flesh that is firm, juicy and bursting with sweetness. It can be enjoyed fresh as a perfect snack and is a beautiful, rosy addition to compotes and tarts. Cooking adds vibrancy to and smoothes the already rich flavor. The 8 should be stored at room temperature in a paper sack until ripe, then can be refrigerated for two to three days. Handle with care, as the delicate skin bruises and tears easily.
