Tamarillo - We found the Lost Food of the Incas

We were given a box of these by Second Harvest a couple of weeks ago. Arnaldo said that in Madeira they are called "English Tomatoes".

It seems that along with Portugal, tamarillos are grown for export only in New Zealand and some of the most northern South American countries. Those we received were labelled from Columbia.

The New Zealand Tamarillo Growers Assn suggest some interesting culinary uses, both decorative and otherwise, spanning the range of mayonnaise enhancer, juice ingredient to dessert sauce.

I've read that in New Zealand, kids squish the ripe fruit, bite off the stem and squeeze out the tamarillo pulp!
