Tis the season for nectarines and plums

Actually these are neither. According to the sign at the grocery store, they are called nectavigne and come from France (which still counts as eating ‘local’ for me). It is a cross between a certain breed of peach and a nectarine. I was drawn in by the apple-like appearance of their skin. They were quite ripe and juicy, and tasted much like nectarines. The nectavigne didn’t blow me away, but it’s always fun to try new things.
