One recipe calling for both? Is it a period or middle ages recipe? There might have been regional cultivars of plums and the person writing the recipe was making a distinction based on knowledge of color or taste variations of the regional varieties. Nowadays, you have purple, black, red, and yellow plums. I've made lovely jam from the yellow variety.
