When I was in the Navy stationed in the PI, I had a tree growing just a few yards from my front door. It was the round green variety. I would sit in a chair on my porch and wait for a breeze to loosen a fruit. As soon as I saw the fruit falling, I would jump out of my chair and position myself so that I could catch it before it hit the ground. The reward was the most wonderful and sweetest fruit I have ever tasted. I tried growing a tree here but didn't have much luck. Man do I miss them. I love the Star Apple.

If you have tasted the best, well, you need nothing but the fruit itself. It's very juicy and very sweet and with very nice smell and no gummy thing. My real experience with this fruit was, it comes in a variety of sizes, shapes, colors, and textures. The giant round green is the best, second is the giant oval. I have no idea if you can eat two of these fruits. They're really big. So many good things to remember on fruity summer. I love this fruit very much.

After classes I would climb up our backyard caimito tree and pick ripe ones to eat right up there. They were so sweet, the green ones. My favorite merienda. One day I read a recipe of a caimito dessert that we tried in our family. It is kind of vague now what the exact ingredients were. However it involved the caimito flesh scooped out mixed with milk, am not sure if it was evap or condensada, and ground fried peanuts...you know those that you can buy in the market fried with their thin skin on and with garlic. We chilled this mixture and ate them after meals. It has been a while since I had caimito! A favorite fruit of mine especially when I was a boy in Dagupan.
