i peeled the skins for the ones in the cobbler not for the frozen ones. the skin stays on those. jam wouldnt be jam without the skins.

Years ago we lived in Africa up on the high veld where the air was very dry, and the peaches, apricots and nectarines used to grow like weeds and you couldn't give the fruit away because everyone had them. So people used to spread them out to dry and the flavour was really concentrated. This was when people didn't always have electricity for freezers, and it was a common sight to see yards covered with corrugated iron sheets which were in turn covered with halved pitted fruit drying in the sun. If they had trees you could bet they would have strips of jerky (biltong) drying there - and we ate them all with never any ill effects!! Even now we eat from roadside vendors with impunity.

Sorry didn't mean to hijack this thread - got carried away.

mskitty38583 · 07-28-2008, 11:22 PM

im sure pumpkin jam might be interesting, my mom has made pumpkin butter( like apple butter but with pumpkin)....but i like pumpkin pancakes...yummy yummy!

Richard · 08-02-2008, 11:39 PM

6 1/2-pound Better Boy tomatoes

The 1st yellow Azoychka tomato of the year

paradisi · 08-03-2008, 08:53 PM

passionfruit (panama red), celery - baby stalks used as a last minute addition to a soup, harvested some frozen bananas from the freezer the other day - to put into a carrot cake, the recipe called for a cup or two of water - and I thought that was boring so I grabbed a couple of lady finger bananas, let them get soft and mushed themin their plastic bag and added that to the cake mix......took an extra 45 minutes to bake but well worth it

We harvested our first mexican lime day before yesterday from our little tree. And today I harvested my first artichoke ever, an Imperial Star.

paradisi · 08-05-2008, 06:34 PM

today I picked two paw paw - or papaya - they're on the kitchen window sill finishing off ripening,.

had to pick them just when they started to turn yellow otherwise our local family of possums would have them

LOL! Papaya is a perfect meal for possums! Also thanks for clarifying they are papaya, and not one of the North American Paw Paw's (Asimina species, especially Asimina triloba).

I almost had a triloba growing here - the seedlings were about 60cm tall - and then the wife found out about the smell of the flowers and their propensity to become a weed over here - so I had to pull them out.

That's why I know those on the other side of the pacific like paw paws to be called papayas

BTW - am I missing much as far as the taste of your paw paw is concerned??

Given you can grow papaya and all the other fruits you already have, I think you are not missing out on much. The plants become large and invasive over time -- esp. in your environment. Your space is quite limited. Even if your growing area was larger, say 1000 square meters (1/4 acre) I think there are other fruits you would enjoy more in both taste and behavior.
