Star Fruit Brings Back Memories

/ Bluebird Gardens/

We grew up in Brazil where star fruits are as common as apples are here.

We called them "carambolas."

I don't usually buy them. They are picked so green that by the time they show up in my midwest grocery store, they have color but no flavor.

This time, I couldn't resist.

This Star Fruit had the faint sunny flavor of my childhood summers.
