I have discovered the wonders of cooking cashew fruit and Ioving it!  I have managed to get most of the tannic properties out of the fruit by peeling them.  At first, I thought that I would peel them llike tomatoes (boil them, take them off the heat quickly and then peel) but when I actually got down to peeling the raw fruit, it wasn’t that difficult.  So, here is a picture of the peeled fruit:

We were both very pleased with the cooked cashew fruit!  The only problem is that that every single fruit is getting gobbled up by the paca (gibnut) community and as soon as one drops from the tree, it disappears.  Gnome says that this is fair exchange for eating two gibnuts a year.
