New season fruit - soursop


Here is the latest collection of fruit in season for the fruit tasting. We have lots of soursops to be harvested at the moment. You can see the soursop in the bowl - the green one at the bottom with the bumps all over it. We are picking about 6 cartons a week. It's great to have soursop on the fruit tasting again - everyone's favourite on the menu.
The messy bit is the processing of the fruit to get the juice. You have to push the pulp through a moule or a sieve to remove the cotton wool fibre and the seeds. What is left is the most fantastic juice - perfect for a daiquiri - and also for sauces, cheesecakes and jams. Once again soursop jam is available for sale to fruit tasters after the tasting.
