Prunus domestica L. subsp. syriaca (Borkh.) Janch.
The mirabelle plum, also known as the mirabelle prune (*Prunus domestica* subsp. *syriaca*), is the edible drupaceous fruit of the mirabelle plum tree, a cultivar of the plum tree of the genus *Prunus*.
The mirabelle is identified by its small, oval shape, smooth-textured flesh, and especially by its red, or dark yellow colour which becomes flecked in appearance. They are known for being sweet and full of flavour. The fruit is primarily used in fruit preserves and dessert pies, and its juice is commonly fermented for wine or distilled into plum brandy. Ninety percent of mirabelle plums grown commercially are made into either jam (70%) or eau de vie (20%). The plums are also excellent when eaten fresh. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirabelle_plum]
