New Fruit 5770



I've only recently grown aware of the tradition of trying a new fruit on Rosh Hashanah, but the idea deeply appeals to me. It's also fairly easy for me to find new fruits, because I don't tend to eat much fruit to start with. So this week I picked up a bag of pluots from Tiny's, and I've been enjoying one every day.

A pluot is a cross between a plum and an apricot. Apparently there are multiple varieties to choose from. I'm glad I tried them, though I doubt I'll eat them on a regular basis. But maybe that's the point: branching out a bit without doing anything terribly radical.
