Here's something that has been on my mind for far too long:
I personally think that plum juice sounds WAY more appealing than prune juice - and makes more sense. Hmm. Anyone have any insights to help untangle this puzzle from my brain? I mean prunes don't even have juice. They're dried.
So, I would assume it's because they're quite different? The juice of fresh plums (i.e plum juice) is completely different in flavor to the "juice" made from prunes, which I think is actually just water added to prune puree. Also, the plums which they dry to make prunes are quite a different variety from eating plums, which may be another reason
ReplyDeleteWell that is entirely logical! Thank you for your input! I didn't think of pureeing the prunes to make juice - but it is certainly a different flavour than some plums (like my personal favourites green gage plums!)
DeleteI think maybe because prune juice is made from watered-down, pureed prunes while plum juice is made from the juice of plums? So, in that case (and if I'm not totally wrong about this, which is always an option), the juice part of prune juice is the incorrect bit. The most important bit I have taken from this, however, is that I miss grape juice! Red grape juice was one of the few sweet drinks we regularly had as kids, and I haven't had it for years. Time to go hunt some down! ~___^
ReplyDeleteYou're so smart Lisa! Thanks for the input! I was never a big fan of "grape" flavoured things as a rule - even though I LOVE grapes. It's weird how grape flavour isn't grape-y at all...
