Daily Tip for Thursday, December 18, 2008 3 New-to-You Fruits Even the biggest fruit fanatic (and we love us some fresh produce) can be taught a new trick or two. Okay, maybe even three.

Pluots: A quirky plum/apricot combo, pluots are perfectly sweet. Slice them fresh and add to salads, or use them dried and add to cereal and muffins or mixed with nuts for a great snack.
