Hybrid Fruits: 3 Pluot Recipes

Pluots are a hybrid of a plum and an apricot and only make an appearance during the summer.

We are thrilled to be presenting you with a true summer fruit and several ways to use it. There are many varieties of pluots, mostly origi- nating from California, and each farm gives their crop a unique name — ranging from Dinosaur Eggs, Flavor Grenade, Dapple Dandy and Flavorglo, just to name a few. Pluots are sweet and juicy with a pink/red interior. They are full of vitamins A and C, and about 40 to 80 calories. Use pluots as you would plums.

GRILLED PLUOT SALAD

Grilled fruit is a recent phenomenon that works well on many fruits. The grilled plots work especially well in a salad to start or even be a meal.

PLUOT TART

Tarts are easy when using puff pastry dough, just choose a favorite jam and get your pluots ready for the quickest Summer dessert you can offer.

This version uses a little citrus zest and juice to add more flavor and is wonderful served alone or top of a cake or yogurt.
