RE: How long can spiral ham stay in refrigerator? I bought a Publix Grocery Store brand Ham on Saturday 11/17 for thanksgiving and was wondering how long I could keep it in the refrigerator before Thanksgiving 11/22? Should I freeze it?
Plums are generally in season somewhere in the United States from the end of May all the way into October. The varieties that have their origins in Japan ripen first, and the European varieties, which we usually refer to as prune plums, ripen later.
Plums are known as prunes in France. In earlier times, it is believed that both plum and prune meant the fresh fruit. In modern times, Americans understand the prune to be the dried version of the plum. Most prunes are made from the La Petite d'Agen variety of plum brought from France in 1856 by French horticulturist Louis Pellier in Santa Clara Valley.
