CUSTARD APPLE
I found this "custard apple" sitting at Betsy's produce stall today. I was intrigued as she described it as a sweet fruit with a custard consistency. So I bought it, peeled it, squeezed/picked the seeds out, and mooshed it around with a fork. I added a bit of nutmeg and dash of salt and put it in the freezer. Custard apple ice cream? We'll see!
How were the eggplant fries and custard?? I want to try some of these recipes. We have the same foods in abundance here in Egypt!
