Yesterday Florida Boy dropped off a heavy bag full of Key West Mamey for me to enjoy. He insisted on delivering them even though it was quite a drive. What an absolute gentleman, he brought more fruit than expected and also shared excellent advice on my garden and future tree plans.
As for the fruit, the Key West mamey sapote he delivered was among the best mamey I have tried. We cut one in half that was ready to eat and put it in the refrigerator to chill. Half an hour later, all I needed was a spoon to dig out the dense, cakey meat of the fruit. Perfectly ripe and crimson/orange in color. Layered over the base pumpkin pie flavor I tasted honey, vanilla and creme brulee. The sweeter flesh near the skin was even more intense with a floral aroma. Half of a smaller mamey is the perfect dessert cup, super satisfying. I hope he still has some left when I finish eating this batch.
He also brought some avocados, can't wait to try those once the first one softens on the counter.
