Delightful. I do love mirabelles and am especially attached to that peculiar depth of flavour - an almost-absent-but-not-quite sourness at times. A friend has a couple in his place in France and although of the Dane same variety as ones I grow they taste different - not better, nor worse - which I guess maybe due to soil or the speed they ripen there compared to here. Anyway, thank you - a fascinating read
