Well, I don't know Polish or Polish cooking, but Latwerge refers to the
conserve/fruit paste in general. I guess you could make it from plums, but
the only recipes I could find at the spur of the moment were for quinces
and pears. And I swear I thought I saw a cherry recipe somewhere, but I
can't find it now that I want it.
