Green Plumcot Vinaigrette
20 min
Plumcots are an exceptional fruit. Also recognized as a pluot, plumcots are part plum, part apricot with more plum characteristics. Not only do sweet apricot qualities balance out the sour hints from a traditional plum, but each variety has its own distinctive fusion of flavors, size, and color. We have all the plumcot varieties (more than twenty!) and are continuously adding more, each one entirely unique and truly delicious.

The beautiful color and over-the-top sweetness takes this variety almost into the “exotics” category. The overriding message with this one is: Green = Sweet. The flavor is succulent, honey-sweet plum and melon flavors.

If you prefer a cold, crisp, juicy piece of fruit, they’ll keep in your refrigerator for a week or more.
