Fruit 3

Fruit of the day: sweetsop, or sugar-apple, or custard-apple...

When this fruit is ripe, it falls apart in your hand. Each hard bump on the outside has a soft section attached to it, custard around a large smooth seed. It just melts in your mouth. Needless to say, I do not buy these in the ripe stage and haul them home in my day pack! They are like knobby croquet balls when I toss them in my pack, but three days later…yum! We first had these when working in the Caribbean and were thrilled to find them here, too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar-apple
