Baked Aprium and Strawberry Treat

Baked Aprium and Strawberry Treat

Have you ever gone to the grocery and stumbled upon a food that is completely new to you?

Well, I have.  In fact, one of my favorite things to do it to find some magnificent new food, buy it, and then figure out a way to turn it into something delicious!  This weekend, I got lucky.  While perusing the produce section at Costco, I ran into my friend (and also the produce manager!) who asked if I had seen the apriums.  

"The what?" I responded, intrigued.

"Apriums," he said, "like a cross between an apricot and a plum."
