Anyone else tried a "plucot" (or pluot or apriplum)?

I'm probably late to the game, but I found them at my local supermarket today and thought I would take some home (simply based on the odd name). This particular variety was dark purple with equally dark sweet flesh. I'm looking forward to giving them a try in my protein smoothie tomorrow. If anyone has other suggestions for their use, I would be very grateful...

    I recently got some free with my produce delivery - they were absolutely delicious! I just ate them plain or on the side of my meal. :bigsmile:

    I just eat them plain. I never tried adding them to anything. Yum!

    I've eaten them plain and I did try them in smoothies a few different times. I have to say, I prefer them plain. They didn't seem to do much for my smoothies. Enjoy them! They are yummy!

    I also picked one up at the store. There was a dinosaur on the label, I couldn't resist.

    or one brand is called "Dinosaur Eggs."
    Possible fun prep? Grill.
    Like grilling peaches.
    a little maple syrup, cinnamon, ground ginger??
    Serve with yogurt.

    "Dinosaur eggs". That's one variety of pluots. My family and I used to live in California, where the farmers markets carried many different varieties. Besides looking the funniest, dinosaur eggs also tasted the best to my family.

    Now in the midwest, dinosaur eggs are the only variety that make it our way. We buy them whenever we see them.

    I'd never thought of grilling them. May have to give that a try.

    This definitely seems like a fun idea! I'll have to give it a try!
