To Luketrollope. Thank you for your timely comment. Please let me inform you that even I am in Zone 6B I have been spending since over 55 years twice a year 6 to 12 weeks in India between 13 and 14 degrees N and between 74 and 75 degrees E. We have been growing nutmegs also. Since I have retired I am helping other Nurseries and home owners, promoting ( Totally Non Commercial ) rare but useful low land tropical fruit trees from around the world.
My first known experience of nutmeg is probably 75 years ago. To me and us around that area this fruit is bland. That was what I meant. I am sorry for the 'tone', which was unfortunate.
You can make jam , syrup, drinks or candies of any insipid non poisonous fruits. Just blend it and add lime or lemon or orange or tamarind or pineapple juice + some sweet component of cane or beet sugar or molasses or sorghum or maple syrup + optional cardamom powder. You can make it into an edible substance in less than an hour of cooking! Make ice cream with all sorts of milks and yogurts.
I have never seen any wild life including squirrels, bats nor mice relishing those yellow fruits. Neither those ants. But the cuckoo relishes the mace and the seed. I am now spending at least 4 months in an year at that zone of our over 200 years old ancestral home and farm. Sorry for my different 'wave length'. Thanks for your tip on that 'Coke' ingredient.
