Sugar plum
Sugar plums are a type of dragée or other hard candy made into small round or oval shapes. The plum in the name of these confections does not always mean plum in the sense of the fruit, but rather their small size and spherical or oval shape. Traditional sugar plums often contained no fruit, instead being made mostly of pure sugar. These candies were comfits, and often surrounded a seed, nut, or spice.
