Custard Apples
« on: March 19, 2012, 06:40:55 PM »
Anyone else eating custard apple this time of year? They have been in season down here in Florida. Here's a pic of one I was munching on:



They are kind of neglected because they are inferior to their relatives...Atemoya, Cherimoya, and Sugar Apple, but I still enjoy them. This one  was sweet and has a hint of strawberry sorbet to it.

That looks pretty darn good to me, beautiful color too.  Was it as fibrous as it looks?

Unfortunately I don't, though I don't believe its a seedling if I remember right. Its a decent-sized red type. Here is another pic:



Tim, wasn't really fibrous despite the way it looks. Did have plenty of seeds, though I didn't mind.
