What are plums in syrup
Plums in syrup are a classic of European pastry and hotel breakfast culture: dried plums are rehydrated and preserved whole in a light sugar syrup, which restores their soft, fleshy texture while concentrating their naturally sweet, slightly tart flavour. Keeping the stone preserves the shape and aroma of the whole fruit during pasteurisation and storage.
The Ristoris brand
Ristoris is an Italian food service brand that produces, selects and distributes Italian specialities for professional kitchens, with a range of over 500 products exported to more than 47 countries and ISO, BRC and IFS certifications. Raw materials are carefully selected, favouring seasonal processing and quality-driven sourcing for the HoReCa channel.
Origin and characteristics
The fruit is of Serbian origin, as declared on the label: Serbia is one of the leading plum-growing countries in Europe, and its prunes are prized for firm, fleshy pulp and intense flavour. The plums are selected by size, rehydrated and covered with a light syrup that keeps the fruit whole, soft and glossy, ideal for elegant plating.
Professional uses in the kitchen
On the hotel breakfast buffet, serve 3-4 plums per portion with Greek yogurt, granola or ricotta. In the pastry lab, pair them with mascarpone cream for a quick spoon dessert, or use them to garnish panna cotta, semifreddo and ice cream coupes. In the savoury kitchen, drain the plums and reduce the syrup with red wine and a touch of vinegar for a glossy sweet-and-sour sauce for roast pork, duck or game. The drained syrup can also be reduced on its own into a shiny glaze for tarts.
Common mistakes to avoid
Do not serve the plums without draining them for 10-15 minutes: excess syrup waters down plates and creams. Remember that the plums contain stones and must be flagged as such on the menu and in self-service buffets. Once the tin is opened, never store the fruit in the tin itself: transfer it to a food-grade container, refrigerate at 0-4 °C and use within a few days.
