Pickled Plums

Finks Delicatessen – Pickled Plums from Styrian Homestead Plums

The Finks Pickled Plums are a special delicacy that demonstrates the local connection of Bettina and Hans Peter Fink, who produce this wonderful product in their Fink's Delicatessen manufactory in Walkersdorf. The Styrian homestead plums come from regional farmers. They are pitted and cooked, then preserved in vinegar from the Gölles manufactory in Riegersburg.

Finks Pickled Plums, with their fine aroma, perfectly accompany cold cuts of meat, as well as a hearty snack with robust sausage and smoked ham, as well as mild and aged mountain cheeses.

Finks Pickled Plums – delicious taste

In late summer, plums ripen in Styrian gardens. The true plum (Prunus domestica subsp. domestica) is a subspecies of plum (Prunus domestica), similar to mirabelles. Plums are elongated and pointed in shape, dark blue in color, and their flat stone easily separates from the tart flesh.

Pickled plums (Essigzwetschken, spelled with a 'k' in Austria instead of 'g' like in Germany) are tartly prepared plums or other dark plums that can be wonderfully used as a side dish for game dishes.

The fruits are poured over with a stock of vinegar (Gölles plum vinegar), sugar and water, as well as honey, sea salt, spices, mustard and peppercorns, and marinated before being preserved. They taste great with game, duck and goose, venison loin with pumpkin puree, for refining red cabbage, but can also be used in Japanese cuisine.
