Preserved Dark Plum (or Smoked Plum) is a type of preserved fruit made from specially processed dark plums, which are typically smoked or cured. The production involves simmering and steeping the plums with ingredients like licorice, sugar, and salt, followed by drying. The final product has a glossy black appearance, often coated with a white sugary frost. It offers a chewy texture and a complex flavor profile that combines sour, salty, and sweet notes, accompanied by a distinctive smoky or herbal aftertaste. Traditionally, dark plums are valued for their ability to promote salivation, quench thirst, and astringe the lungs and intestines, making this snack a classic choice for summer heat relief and as an accompaniment to tea.
