Flavor Fall” Pluot

Fruit

Flavor Fall Pluot is a premium hybrid fruit that blends the juicy sweetness of plums with the subtle tang and fragrance of apricots. Known for its rich purple-red skin and amber flesh, this variety ripens in early fall — offering an extended stone fruit season when most summer fruits have faded.

How chefs use it:

Fresh: Enjoyed as a juicy snack or sliced into fruit bowls.

Desserts: Used in pies, tarts, cobblers, and sorbets for a sweet-tart flavor.

Salads: Adds vibrant color and sweetness to leafy greens or grain salads.

Sauces: Cooked into glazes for meats or reduced into compotes.

Preserves: Excellent for jams and chutneys with a deep, complex flavor.

Texture & Prep Tips: Firm yet juicy with smooth skin and a slightly tart edge near the peel. Best enjoyed when fully ripe and slightly soft to the touch.

Flavor profile in a dish: Sweet, floral, and mildly tangy with notes of honey, plum, and apricot. Offers a balanced, aromatic taste that works well in both sweet and savory recipes.

Peak Season: September–October (California).
