Pluots

It is always a magical time of year when I am reunited with one of my favorite hybrid fruits.
If you haven't tried one this season-make a point to pick one up ASAP.

 
A pluot ( /ˈpluː.ɒt/)^[1] is a tradename for varieties of interspecific plum or plumcot developed in the late 20th century by Floyd Zaiger.^[2][3] "Pluot" is a registered trademark of Zaiger's Genetics. Like the aprium, it is a complex cross hybrid of plum and apricot. The pluot exhibits more plum-like traits than the aprium,^[4] and is also called an interspecific or IS plum.
The fruit's exterior has smooth skin closely resembling that of a plum. Pluots are noted for their sweetness, their intense flavor, and very juicy pulp. Pluots are also rich in vitamin A.
