Jambolan, Indian blackberry, jamun, black plum, java plum, Malabar plum, Portuguese plum, purple plum, damson plum and Jamaica are common names for jamun.
Jamun has a tangy, tart, and subtly sweet taste well suited for fresh or cooked preparations. The fruits can be eaten straight, out of hand, removing the seeds, and the pigmented dark purple flesh will stain clothing, fingers, lips, and tongues. Many fruits carry an astringent quality, and it is common for Jamun to be sprinkled with salt before eating to create a more pleasant snack. Jamun can be tossed into green salads, mixed into fruit bowls, blended into smoothies, or juiced and stirred into lemonade, punches, sparkling beverages, cocktails, and mocktails. The fruits can also be pureed and frozen into popsicles or used to flavor sorbet and ice cream. In addition to fresh preparations, Jamun can be simmered into sauces for roasted meats, cooked into syrups and drizzled over desserts and drinks, or used to flavor jams, jellies, and chutney. The fruits can also be incorporated into puddings, panna cotta, mousse, bread, and cakes. Jamun pairs well with yogurt, coconut milk, honey, vanilla, cacao nibs, cinnamon, mint, fruits such as grapes, strawberries, and mangoes, ginger, and cucumber. Whole, unwashed fruits are harvested and sold the same day and should be consumed immediately for the best quality and flavor.
