Did you know?
Frozen plums are less common commercially than frozen peaches or berries but home freezing of plum pieces is straightforward. European prune plums freeze particularly well because their low water content and high sugar create a less icy texture when frozen. Japanese plums with their higher water content freeze adequately but may be more mushy when thawed. For dogs frozen plum pieces without pits provide the same nutritional benefits as fresh plums in enrichment format.
