Fruits in Season.

There is always something new to harvest on the farm.  Right now, the mulberries have just started.

I will be collecting this fruit to make our very popular Mulberry Elixir.  The final product is a beautiful dark purple colour and it has a lovely, rich berry taste.

This one is a local fruit called monkey cap.  It has the consistency of peanut butter and is much-loved by the birds.  For all bird-lovers out there, this is one to plant if want to attract all the birdies with pretty colours.  The toucans like this one.

The monkey cap tree also makes a nice ornamental for those into landscaping.

Oh, and last but not least…we got our first soursop of the year.  Everyone in Belize loves this fruit.  I can’t give it justice by describing it but it has a kind of wet cotton-like consistency with a unique tropical fruit taste.  I asked Gnome to help me describe the flavour and this is what he said:

“Well…it tastes like a soursop!”
