Pickled plums like olives: a recipe for a win-win snack for the winter

Pickled plums are a great alternative to olives. This appetizer goes well in salads, with meat and fish, as well as on its own. They are spicy, flavorful, juicy, crispy and keep their shape well. The main thing is to choose plums of a small size so that they are evenly marinated.
