I’m almost a little ashamed to admit it, but when I strolled through my grandpa’s garden during our annual family reunion bbq feast, I spotted a fruit I have never eaten before. I can’t even recall to have seen it before. No, I’m not referring to an Asian or African specialty, it grows right there in my grandpa’s front yard.
My mum calls them Kriecherl or Kriacherl, they aren’t bigger than black cherries and taste similar to plums. The tree was overloaded with ripe yellow fruits and begged to be releaved, I instantly got myself a bowl and began harvesting. Have you ever tasted Kriecherl? And what’s the best way to use them?

Those little things are mirabelles. It is a varity of plums (thatswhy they taste like them). I use them for cakes, marmelade, jelly or many, many things you can do with plums. Haven't you ever heared of mirabelle liqueur in Austria? :-)
