[nafex] raisin tree
You know all this talk about odd trees and their fruit reminded me of
one I tasted 2 months ago. Just like the shipova (Pyrus x Sorbus). I
always heard it wasent anything to get excited about; at most it was
just a novelty to tease your friends. But I went to a fellow member's
orchard (Lester Davis)a while back and he had one with its "fruit"
falling around everywhere. When I came back home a tried it, I was
quite surprized how tasty it was (or at least as a novelty). Beyond
the fact that it is a very odd looking fruit; not something that I
would look at and want to eat. It looks like dryed worms, and that its
kinda dry, chewy like a fruit leather, I found the taste to be quite
nice. Very honey sweet almost tangy. One friend said it was like wine
grape raisin, but I found it the same but leaning toward a sweet
potatao flavor.
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had done anything with this fruit.
It seems like it could make a nice tart. Im read that there is a drink
called "tree honey" made from it. I cant find any recipe.
Anyone would like to share there thoughts (or recipes) on it?
