=== Unopened Canned Plums ===
Store unopened cans in a cool, dry place off the floor, or in refrigerated storage.
Avoid freezing or sudden changes in temperature. Temperature changes shorten shelf life and speed deterioration of the plums.

Store opened canned plums in a covered nonmetallic container and refrigerate. Use within 2 to 4 days.
== Uses & Tips ==
* Canned plums are a delicious dessert served chilled directly from the can, with
juice or drained. They are also a wonderful addition to any fruit salad or dessert recipe.
* Lemon juice intensifies the natural flavor of the fruit; spices or almond extract complement its natural flavor.
* Chopped purple plums can be added to muffins or used in place of raisins in cinnamon rolls.
* Serve drained and heated or at room temperature as an accompaniment to
meat dishes.
