A plum, a gage, a damson

Gages tend to be small, round and sweet. Damsons lean tart and work well in preserves. The variety matters more than the colour.

For the preserving shelf

European plums are useful fresh, dried or canned. Different varieties suit different preparations; use a tested recipe for preserving.
