My assistant spotted this beauty at the store yesterday. I love the name - "Black Velvet Apricot".
Even though the photo looks more purplish like a plum - the actual color was closer to black. It was very soft and fuzzy like an apricot. Unfortunately most the black velvets were past their prime and wrinkly - but I managed to find one that looked the best of the worst. It was 60 cents.
When I cut it open I thought - this looks just like a plum inside. When I tasted it I thought - this tastes just like a plum. I wondered if there had been a mislabeling problem or if maybe it was a plum but called an apricot for some reason.

The girl also thought it tasted just like a plum.When I read up about the black velvet apricot the mystery was solved...the black velvet is a cross between an apricot and a plum.
It was tasty - but with it being 60 cents for one tiny one - we might as well just buy plums.
