A PLUOT!!!
Or, if you're like me, you will prefer to call it Pluotto because that's much more fun to say.
We were first introduced to this sweet and juicy fruits by Andrew's nana. She served them last week as our dessert after our chili dinner. They are very much plum-like, but oh-so-tasty!
We looked in lots of places for them, and finally found them at a small town Wal-Mart. Go figure.
On your next trip to the grocery store, stop by the produce aisle and see if you can spot these juicy fruits! They're sooooo good and definitely worth the money!
