In the Commonwealth of Dominica (not the Dominican Republic)we do not eat the acid plum but gently squeeze it to softness and it becomes very sweet. I do not understand the effect of the squeezing on the chemistry of the fruit.

There's a couple of street trees in Browning Street, West End of this tree (I had them identfied by the BCC herbarium). A good looking tree with no thorns, obviously tough, and delicious berries.

I just stewed a whole pot full with a little fructose, blended, pushed through a sieve and used as a flavour mixed through plain yoghurt and an icecream topping. The kids loved it and they also eat them raw off the tree.

We have no experience with this variety but with European plums we wash and destem,load into freezer bags, remove the air by vacuum and leave in freezer until needed. then use as stewed fruit, as jam, fruit sauce or as a cordial with ginger beer.
