SAPODILLA JUICE

This is a delicious fruit that may be eaten fresh when cut open like a flower, as in the photograph.

The pulp can be used to make a refreshing and filling juice or sherbet.

Cut open the fruit, peel and section it. Place the pulp in a strainer and slowly add water or milk, stirring and mashing with a wooden spoon until the pits are quite free of fruit pulp. Blend the juice, sweeten to taste and serve with crushed ice in round cups.
