I only recently discovered pluots! They are delicious and have been eating them "as is" as well as putting them in fruit salad, mixed with yogurt, and well, what can I say, except it's fun fun fun to pluots! smileys/tongue.gif

 
No, but I've been thinking of plumcot-ing or perhaps aprium-ing ;o)

You made me look it up - it's another new thing for me! They sound and look absolutely delicious! Now if I could only find one around here...

So THAT is what those fruit are called...

we had them on our shelves and as (almost ) usual I could not get the name from the shelf-packing staff. I bought a couple anyway and both we delish...I just could not get the hair off the apriums tho, now I know why.
Another fruit I couldn't find the name for...
description on the shelf...Gooseberry...
but this was a smallish oval fuit, sort of red in colour, very pippy (tiny ones like in a Cape gooseberry...BUT very hairy, which were not easy to rub off...
To me it looked like a grape with hair and an inside of gooseberry....any idea of what it's name is?

 
They're also called "dinosaur plums" (FRC)

That's here in PA and also in NC where my son lives.

The grandkids love them because of the "dinosaur" connection...

I was wrong! Bought a box of pluots today at costco. Sweet and plump.

I went in for blueberries and came out with pluots.

 
My mom has a tree of them (rather ancient tree) but the fruit is growing well....

last year she made jam but it didn't gel for some reason, and so we had the most delicious plum "syrup" which was heaven on waffles. Did that for myself a few weeks ago - waffles for 1, how decadent!

anyway, I'm a big fan of the pluot.
