My weekly post is about : "Mirabelles"

Mirabelle is a nice fruit you can find in French country-side.
His taste is mildly sweet, and it can be used for cooking or baking purposes.

It can be considered by many as a mindless living creature without any dangerous behavior toward humankind.

Please feel free to post your cooking or baking propositions concerning "Mirabelles" inside this topic.

Next week post should concern "Prunes", another unmalicious friend : stay tuned !
