Correction: CHIRIMOYA

I wrote to all of my Chilean friends last night to wish them a happy September 18, tell them about my amazing find, and ask them what to do with it.

EVERY ONE of them wrote me back first to correct my spelling--it is CHIRIMOYA not cherimoya-- then to tell me that the best way is to cut it into little pieces and mix it with freshly squeezed orange juice. Since they were unanimous, I'm obligated to eat the next one that way. Apparently they call this dessert "chirimoya alegre"--the happy chirimoya.

Good luck to me. Too bad there's no one to share it with!

That is one ugly fruit. Putting it in orange juice would not have been something I would have come up with. Maybe you should buy some oranges and squeeze your own...

That's the plan!
