Black Sapote Fruit

January 7th
The sapote keeps on growing fruit but they just drop off.  They're still quite small and don't look ripe. Better do some research.
Pick the fruit when it is hard and green. Fruit begins to soften and go brown within 3-6 days after picking. This is the ripe stage - you should be able to press the skin with your fingers and leave an indent. Start harvesting when all the local birds move into the area and start to feed on the fruit.
Ok, now I know.


Food Preparation
Cut in half and scoop out the flesh with a spoon and place in a mixing bowl. Stir in the flavouring you choose until it is the consistency of a smooth dessert sauce. Great served with papaya, and ice cream.

  1. Wow, that tree starting fruiting very quickly. It seems you just planted it the other day.
    The pudding sounds very interesting.
