Nice harvest there, Spaugh!
I picked my first darkened Sir prize on Jan 29; your entry above reminded me that I had one picked already that I stashed in the fridge and I just tasted it now: Hmm..., smooth, full of flavor and just enough oil content it seems. Also, the seed is relatively small, and it's skin does not stick to the meat, and the meat is easily separated from the fruit's skin using a spoon, even though the skin is on the thin side.Much different than the only I had last season; when I picked it in December: it was bland, tasteless ...
Obviously; December was way too early to pick this variety in SoCal; I guess the darkening of the fruit is a good indication of it being ready to be picked, huh?
Hope you enjoy yours, Spaugh! Too bad that Mark from Texas is unable to joint our Sir prize tasting experience...holler on me when you are ready to do some grafting, Mark!
