The Mirabelle is an edible drupaceous fruit, a cultivar of the plum, Prunus x domestica. While it is believed that the plum was cultivated from a wild fruit grown in Asia Minor, this cultivar was developed in France and it today primarily grown in the Lorraine region. The Mirabelle plum is identified by its small, oval shape, smooth-textured flesh, and especially for its dark yellow colour which becomes flecked in appearance. They are known for being sweet and full of flavour, and are used primarily in jams, pies and its juice fermented for wine or distilled into plum brandy.
