SANTA ROSA PLUMS

Buy Santa Rosa Plums: Available for shipping in late June

Description:Santa Rosa is a Japanese plum variety developed by the famous American botanist Luther Burbank in 1906. Santa Rosa is extremely juicy. Thin skinned, with tender amber flesh streaked with red, richly flavored, with floral notes and a lovely balance of sweetness and acidity. Clingstone. Once the standard of the industry, Santa Rosa has been largely replaced by boring, mealy plums that withstand rough handling better, but none come close to its delicious flavor.

Size: 32 to 40 per metric layer

Suggested uses: Fresh eating, salads, cheese platters, baking, sorbets, preserves, sauces.

Shelf life: 10 days in your cooler for raw use, up to 3 weeks if you are cooking them.
