New Fruit - Lemon Plum & Stone Fruit Cobbler

Published: Mar 3, 2012 by Rose McAvoy · This post may contain affiliate links · Leave a Comment

The other day I was delighted to spy a brand new-to-me fruit in my local grocery store, a Lemon Plum!

Wikipedia says:  A lemon plum is a rare fruit imported from Chile, it resembles the taste of a plum, and is very sweet and juicy. They have a similar shape to a lemon and when unripe they have a bright yellow color. As they ripen, their color changes from yellow to a golden orange and then finally to a dark sunset reddish purple when ripe. They have a slightly floral, very fragrant smell. Their peak availability in the United States is very short and is typically within the month of February. 

They were nested there amongst a small selection of other stone fruits.  I was drawn to their rounded tear drop shape and gorgeous color palate.  They smelled fantastic so I scooped up a few and before I left the store I knew exactly what I was going to do with my new fruit find.

Last summer I came across a food.com recipe called Fresh Peach Crumble.  I was really excited to try it but it wasn't until it came out of the oven that I realized I did not follow the directions.  Whoops!  The result was not a crumble but a cobbler with a lovely biscuit crust.  I was in love!

I have reworked the recipe a few more times and I couldn't wait to try it with the Lemon Plums.  When fresh they had a nice crisp taste playfully marrying the flavors of plum and lemon.  After they were cooked the flavors deepened and the natural sugars caramelized deliciously.

On a week that I cooked the last of the Fall squash, prepped my garden for Spring, and watched Wintry snow fall past my windows - it seems only fitting to enjoy a dessert that is purely Summer.
