Plumcots are hybrid drupes that result from a cross between a plum and an apricot. They have a smooth skin and juicy flesh with a taste that combines both the sweetness of apricot and the fresh, slightly sour notes of plum. The color varies from yellow and red to purple depending on the species. Plumcots are usually eaten fresh, but also used in desserts, salads, jams and smoothies. They are popular for their unique flavor combination and aromatic flesh.
