mountain plum

Mountain plum.—The mountain plum (Ximenia americana) is a native of the tropics. It is a tree with simple leaves; flowers white, in clusters; fruit yellow, size of a plum; pulp of a pleasant subacid taste with a slight astringency.

They fry okra. […] Our supper came with a bottle of brandy made from mountain plums and, by the potency, a good helping of mountain lightning, too.
