It is thought to have come from France, imported as an ornamental garden tree, and here it became famous. It was already known in the time of D. Afonso Henriques, the first King of Portugal, and its name reached Britain. Lord Wellington could not resist it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1855 the Elvas plum won a bronze medal at the Paris Exhibition. In 1875 it began to be exported to America. In just over a hundred years it gathered more than two hundred national and international awards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe jar from Convento da Serra, in Estremoz, brings the plums in the syrup of the original recipe. They are served as a dessert and with cakes. Sericaia, a traditional and emblematic convent sweet from the Alentejo, is their lady in waiting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePDO Elvas plums in syrup keep well in a cool place for a few weeks, even after the jar is opened. The question is who can wait that long without eating them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFilipe and Vanessa, from Mercado Alentejano, chose these plums. At Ra-Ro we opened the jar and did not need to worry about keeping them.
