I always like to see the new fruits of the season, no matter where I am. The plums are really looking good this year. There are a few different kinds to choose from. I wanted the ones with the most natural sweetness, and I came across the Apriums". If you ask an apricot to marry a plum you get baby Apriums! I was doing some reading on Apriums and Plumcotts. There are different ratios of plums to apricots that are married together. There is some good info on All recipes https://www.allrecipes.com/article/the-difference-between-plumcots-apriums-and-pluots/
They are sweet, and a deep plum color inside. They would be great to make jam with.(one of my next projects)! I will keep you posted!

This recipe is so easy it doesn't take long to prepare.
Make sure you have a beautiful serving dish, The Tarnished Apple likes to make her food pretty!! You eat with your eyes first!!
Have your grill pan ready on the stovetop at med heat.
You can also do them on the barbeque.
They do cook quickly because of their small size and usually their quality of freshness makes a difference too.
Clean and cut the Apriums in half and carefully take out the pits.
Grill the fruit 5-8 minutes on med heat, with a little oil in the pan or non stick spray. flesh side down.
love to see those grill marks on the fruit. It also brings out their natural sugars.
Stay close to the fruit on the grill you don't want jam.
add 1-2 handfuls of cleaned arugula on your serving dish, (you can also use spinach if you wish).
place some of the black berries over the arugula leaves
carefully place the grilled Apriums over the bed of arugula & blackberries.
remembering the gilled side up always.
leaving room in the middle of the plate for that beautiful burrata.
drizzle the honey over the grilled plums( if you have a wild flower honey that would be even better).
drizzle the balsamic vinager glaze over the whole salad
top with a sprinkle of salt to taste and a little extra ground pepper. which will give a nice heat to the grilled fruit.
Simple yet elegant! very tasty indeed!! You can easily serve this up with chicken or a light whit
