A sugar plum is a piece of dragée candy that is made of dried fruits and shaped in a small round or oval shape.Plum in the name of this confection does not mean plum in the sense of the fruit of the same name. At one time plum was used to denote any dried fruit. Sugar plums may be made from any combination of dried plums (aka prunes) dried figs dried apricots dried dates and dried cherries but traditional sugar plums may contain none of these.
