Trolling through the exotic soft fruits in Central Market, I decided to try a few of the apricot-plum hybrids: the Red Velvet apricot, Cherry Plumcot and Flavorossa Plumcot. Best of the bunch: the Red Velvet apricot, which looks like a purple apricot, although the skin has some of a plum's sour tang. It gives way mango-sweet interior flesh that can range from orange to plum-colored. The others were less appealing - maybe I just don't like the sour skin-sweet flesh combo. The Cherry Plumcot had the sourest skin and was so juicy it dripped all down my fingers. But the flesh was kinda blah. The Flavarossa's skin was less sour and tasted more like a simple, juicy plum. But at $3.99 a pound, it's definitely not any old plum. That's the price, by the way, on all three. For this taste test, I'm sticking with Cooper Farms peaches ($1.99 a pound). |
