pluot
Orchard crossbreed fruit
A pluot is a hybrid fruit, a cross between a plum and an apricot with more plum than apricot in its parentage.
The flesh is sweet and juicy, the skin smooth like a plum's.
Pluots appear in supermarkets under various trademarked names: I picked up some dinosaur egg pluots at the farmers market.
