Question

Can I freeze whole plums and then use them to make plum wine? How long can I freeze plums?

Community Answer

Yes, almost any fruit to be used for wine (including apples) or jam, give a much better result if they're frozen first; freezing breaks down the cells which releases more juice and flavour.

Question

Is it okay if I freeze whole plums with the stone inside? Why might their skins look darker after defrosting?

John

Top Answerer

Yes, you can freeze whole plums with the stone in. Their skins often look darker after defrosting due to water separation and slight oxidation, but the fruit is still safe to eat.
