Pluots!

[flit]

I've been absolutely scarfing the pluot jam that I received from aelfsciene!tamago. I didn't lift a finger to preserve *any* pluots this year despite my normal love for them, because the pluot stalls are always rather busy and I've been tired when I shop, so this jam, a wonderful consistency and balance of sweet and tart, is a particular treasure.

Yes!

Now I want to start making up fruit. Have you tried bananalets yet? How about rangpur limes?

Sadly, the honeydew nectarine I had yesterday (which was awesome) just concatenates the "fruit it looks like" and "fruit it is." No Nectadew for you!

There is totally a nectaplum, though! (And it is delicious.)

I do admit that my logical brain gets cranky about fruit that is named after a fruit it completely is not, such as the aforementioned rangpur lime, which is orange in color and not I believe descended from any actual limes. It does taste more limelike than anything but I think it's a variant mandarin.

Oh yes and that fruit in my icon for this post? Is actually named 'uglifruit.'
