Pluot, fruit of the future
I just tried pluots, which are a combination of a plum and an apricot.
I’ve always liked plums, but I like them sweet and not too soft, so finding suitable examples is a challenge.
Pluots are plums done right. They’re sufficiently firm and plenty sweet. My first batch of eight was gone in under 24 hours and I just picked up a second two pounds.
Even the stickers on the Whole Foods ones (Fresh Safari brand) are cool. I’m plastering my fridge with them.
These things are fruit-crack to me. I’m addicted.
