Plums - cute little šljiva


Many will be able to identify this fruit as the modest Plums (Prunes are the dried equivalent). They are called šljiva in Croatia. It is a very common fruit in Croatia and they are used in a variety of sweet treats. Pita od šljiva is a delicious pie with Prune pureé and a hint of cinnamon. Using Cinnamon to flavour pastries is a usual practice here. Most of the time, they get cooked into jams.
Enjoy your daily prune fresh!
