Sapodillas (Manilkara zapote) are in season again and this year we have a bumper harvest. The fruit has a very sweet caramel-honey taste. We have been picking them every morning. For an inexperienced picker, the ripe fruit forms a taut and shiny appearance. At first it is difficult to spot but after picking hundreds of them you can get the hang of it. Here is a picture of Gnome ready for action on the farm!
This year, we are going to sun-dry some of them. We like to eat them with beef jerky!
Some more sapodilla melomel would go down nicely!
Oooooh, so many to pick and so much to make!! We will of course eat some of them too…
