Ciruelas are in season! This morning as we walked into the market, that's the first thing I saw! And almost the first thing I bought! So, what are "ciruelas"? Literally they're plums, but they're not like any plum you've met in the U.S.! Small, yellow, sometimes with green or red streaks, almost all seed, and very sweet and delicious! Some would disagree with me - their loss!
You first squeeze it gently till all the fruit under the skin feels juicy. Then you pop it in your mouth and suck! Careful, because it squirts all over if you open your mouth while sucking it! I don't eat the skin, just suck the pit, which is almost the size of the entire fruit, until it's clean! Very delicious!
