RE: How long can spiral ham stay in refrigerator? I bought a Publix Grocery Store brand Ham on Saturday 11/17 for thanksgiving and was wondering how long I could keep it in the refrigerator before Thanksgiving 11/22? Should I freeze it?
Plums are generally in season somewhere in the United States from the end of May all the way into October. The varieties that have their origins in Japan ripen first, and the European varieties, which we usually refer to as prune plums, ripen later.
Commercially grown plums are picked before they are ripe and allowed to ripen after picking. When ready for sale, they are either gassed with ethylene gas or allowed to ripen at room temperature. If you purchase plums that are unripe, it is worth the small effort to allow plums to ripen before eating.
