Yes, we have science to thank for the delightful pluot, a hybrid of 3/4 plum and 1/4 apricot. I'm not in love with either of those fruits as they are, but I love a good pluot (also known as a dinosaur plum). The skin is much sweeter than a standard plum and the flesh is much sweeter and moister than an apricot. The best of both worlds! I had my first of the season from Whole Foods last week (at an astounding $1.83 each!) and it was lovely.
