coeur de boeuf

New fruit time. They must have been around this time last year but I don't remember noticing them, or maybe I thought it was an artichoke..

coeur de boeuf translates as beef heart so I wasn't super enthusiastic about trying it - I prefer the english name - custard apple, much more tempting...

the one we just tried was slightly overripe (I think), but was sweet, juicy and with flesh that reminded me of a pear / mango cross. Apparently they can be aromatic too, but this one was just vaguely sweet.

Pics from another website, as I forgot to take before photos, and the after is just a sticky plate and spoon
