Picking out aplum is tricky. The color doesn't give you a hint of what is inside. Of course, the best way to pick a perfect plum is to get them right off the tree in the orchard when they are at peak ripeness but most of us have to source our plums from our local market. Don't evenbother withany plums that have a wrinkled skin. Don't shy away from plums that have that chalky, white powder on their on their skin. It's called the bloom. The presence of bloom on a plum is a good sign that it hasn't been handled a lot on its way to the store from the orchard. A plum should smell sweetly fruity. It should not be overly soft to the touch but be firm, not hard, and have just a little give when gently squeezed.
