I'm sure I have that in a book somewhere, the plum variety. Please watch
this space, as in a decade or so I'll probably come across it...
Any good-tasting plum will make a good dried plum, though (waiting for a
posting of the exceptions). The best probably would share the sweetness and
firmness of an Italian Prune plum. But try drying whatever you have.

Subject: [NAFEX] American plum used for Prunes
In reading of old plum varieties, I once read that there was an American
plum (with or without Japanese influence) variety that was used for making
prunes. Usually it is only European plums and their decendents used for
prunes.
Well, that American hybrid is probably gone. I have wondered what went into
it, and how to get one like it.
