Pluots, Pluots, my kingdom for Pluots!

[Muban]

... well I don't have a kingdom, but anyway..... I got a bag of mixed dried fruit the other day and it had Pluots in. Oh my word, it's the tastiest dried fruit ever!!!!! I love my dried fruit but this is something else...yum yum yum! The only problem is, I can't find anywhere that sells just bags of them on their own! Has anyone ever seen them anywhere?

For anyone like me who has no idea what a Pluot is (I had to Google it :o), it's a hybrid fruit 70% Plum and 30% Apricot.

I've not tried these, but have recently become addicted to Medjool dates. Sainsburys currently have their Taste the Difference ones stuffed with walnuts on half price. Bloody delicious, but surprisingly calorific. Something like 60-70 kcal per date.

I got hooked on dried pluots when I was in NYC last year - there was a healthfood shop around the corner from the hotel and I went in to get some dried apricots (which I absolutely adore) and the lady in the shop suggested I tried a pluot.

The only place I've seen them for sale separately over here is at a 'Cranberry' dried fruit stall in Euston station. I bought pretty much all they had last time I was there.

Now that sounds like the ultimate sponge pudding fruit. With loads of custard.

Can you buy them fresh anywhere...
