peräluumien

Peräluumien is a Finnish term that translates to "back plums" or "tail plums." It refers to a specific type of large, dark-skinned plum that is known for its rich, sweet flavor and juicy flesh. These plums are typically harvested in late summer or early autumn in Finland. The fruit is often oval in shape with a deep purple to black skin, sometimes with a slight bloom. The flesh is usually a deep red or reddish-purple. Peräluumien are prized for their versatility in the kitchen, being suitable for eating fresh, as well as for making jams, preserves, pies, and other baked goods. Their intense flavor makes them a popular choice for adding depth and sweetness to culinary creations. In Finnish folklore and traditions, plums, including peräluumien, have sometimes been associated with abundance and harvest celebrations. While not a formally recognized botanical variety, the term is understood by growers and consumers in Finland to denote a particular quality and type of plum.
