Eden Foods Pickled Plum Puree
What it is
This is a concentrated puree made from pickled plums. The plums are typically fermented and then processed into a smooth paste. It offers a unique sweet and sour flavor profile with a hint of saltiness. The puree is designed for culinary use, adding depth and complexity to various dishes. It comes in a small, convenient packet.
How people cook with it
This pickled plum puree can be a surprising addition to both sweet and savory recipes. Its intense flavor makes a little go a long way.
- Marinades for meats
- Sauces and glazes
- Salad dressings
- Dipping sauces
To use, carefully open the packet and measure out the desired amount. Start with a small quantity, as the flavor is quite potent. You can whisk it into dressings, stir it into marinades for chicken, pork, or duck, or incorporate it into pan sauces for a sweet and tangy finish. It can also be blended into vinaigrettes or used to create a unique glaze for roasted vegetables. Experiment with small amounts to find the perfect balance in your cooking.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fresh plums or regular plum jam, this puree is intensely concentrated and has a distinct pickled, fermented flavor. The pickling process adds a savory, salty dimension that is not present in typical fruit preserves. This makes it suitable for savory applications where a sweet fruit element is desired but with added complexity.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking to add a unique sweet and sour element to their dishes will find this product interesting.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused puree in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It is best to use the remaining product within a few days to maintain its fresh flavor. Ensure it is properly sealed to prevent it from drying out or absorbing other odors from the refrigerator.
