The ones that we get in the stores are so juicy and sweet!<BR/><BR/>Don't need to miss my papaya tree. It's too old to produce any more fruits. We only have some tiny ones high up, nobody plucks them anymore. Need to grow new tree.Blur Tinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07792543153416871887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187131513409862167.post-46787392076391147072007-07-26T22:27:00.000-07:002007-07-26T22:27:00.000-07:00Oh I love jambu! :)And suddenly I miss the papaya ...Oh I love jambu! :)<BR/>And suddenly I miss the papaya tree in your front yard, the one that we used to make papaya salad :)The Real Mother Henhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13226727195920798035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187131513409862167.post-13870210466376441272007-07-26T21:57:00.000-07:002007-07-26T21:57:00.000-07:00Hi Seagrape, I went to look at the photo of sinigu...Hi Seagrape, I went to look at the photo of siniguelas.

(buah means fruit in Malay) It's a small hard oval fruit with extremely sour skin and sweet light yellow flesh. The texture is like an unripe mango. The seed is kinda bristly and bushy with a texture like the toothbrush. Maybe you can find the pickled version in the snack stores in Asia. like the way they pickle mangoes in the yellow vinegar.Blur Tinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07792543153416871887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187131513409862167.post-13135695792489328962007-07-26T21:15:00.000-07:002007-07-26T21:15:00.000-07:00Yummm!!!

I can only find one photo of the fruit online and it looks like a variety of star apple (caimito). I remember going to a friend's house when I was 11 and she had a water apple tree (similar to jambu?) in front of her house. We would sit on the window sill, pull a branch and munch on water apples while we watch cartoons. Yum!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15538597472605657952noreply@blogger.com
