presune

Presune is a traditional Italian dish consisting of preserved plums, typically made from the Prunus domestica variety. The process of making presune involves soaking the plums in a mixture of water, sugar, and sometimes spices, such as cinnamon or cloves, for an extended period, usually several months. This method of preservation helps to concentrate the natural sugars in the plums, resulting in a sweet and tangy flavor. Presune is often used as a filling for pastries, such as torta di presune, or eaten as a snack. The dish is particularly popular in the regions of Tuscany and Umbria in Italy.
