What is a "beach plum"?

The beach plum is a small drupe fruit native to coastal areas of North America, particularly along the Atlantic coast. It grows on beach plum shrubs, which thrive in sandy soils and salty environments. Beach plums are small and round, with deep purple to black skin when ripe. They have a sweet and tangy flavor, with their flesh surrounding a single large seed or stone in the center. Beach plums are commonly used in culinary applications, including jams, jellies, preserves, and sauces. They are also enjoyed fresh when ripe, although their tartness may make them more suitable for cooking or processing.
