Although visions of sugar plums have danced through many a child’s imagination in Christmases past, few people today really know what sugar plums are or what they should taste like. Before chocolate and refined sugar entered the candy-making industry, sugar plums were the most popular confection. They were favored by such historic figures as King Ferdinand, Queen Isabella and Benjamin Franklin.

Although there are various recipes, sugar plums have always been a combination of available fruits, nuts and honey and/or raw sugar. Our California version is made with dried apricots, walnuts, almonds, fresh lemon juice and pure honey with a little added sugar. This incredibly rich and flavorful filling is wrapped in a large, sweet dried plum. (Formerly called prunes.)

Except for a touch of rum-butter flavoring and glace cherry topping, we use all natural ingredients. For children, sugar plums are a healthful alternative to the usual holiday candy. Adults will also find them a festive dessert treat—a fitting conclusion to a midwinter night’s repast.

These sugar plums are exclusively ours…available in 8 ounce or 1 pound trays and in gift boxes. A seasonal item, available only from November through December.
