Running Out of Time for Pluots

What exactly is a Pluot? It's a cross between a plum and an apricot. First introduced in 1989, they have been gaining popularity ever since. Pluots have approximately 25 varieties now and are mainly grown in California. They're flavor is intensely sweet and is accompanied with a strong fragrance. The growing season is nearing the end so visit your local neighborhood market and give one a try. It's a new taste waiting to be savored.
