Plum varieties and best uses

The conversions above are the same whatever variety you use; the difference is what each is good for. Here is how the common plum varieties compare.

Variety	Best for
Red	All-purpose eating and baking: juicy with balanced sweet-tart flesh; the standard supermarket plum (e.g. Santa Rosa).
Yellow	Fresh eating and light desserts: very sweet and mild with low acidity and golden flesh (e.g. Mirabelle, Shiro).
White	Delicate fresh eating: pale skin and flesh, soft and gently sweet with low acid; bruises easily.
Black	All-round cooking and eating: deep purple-black skin and sweet amber flesh that holds up roasted.
European (Prune)	Jam, baking, and drying: small, firm, dense freestone with high sugar; the prune and Damson type.

Which should I pick?

For everyday eating and baking, a Red plum like Santa Rosa is the all-purpose default: juicy, balanced sweet-tart, and widely stocked. No Red plum? A Black plum is an interchangeable all-rounder with deeper colour. For the sweetest fresh fruit reach for a Yellow plum, or a White plum when you want a soft, delicate, low-acid bite. For jam, baking, and drying, a European (Prune) plum is firmest and highest in sugar.
