This pink, pear-shaped fruit is known as a manzana de agua in Nicaragua. And apparently it's one of the hardest fruits to find, especially if you really need some. I came across these in the market a few months ago, brought some home, and began to play. The consistency is a bit like a pear, yet smoother and slightly sweeter. Decided to make applesauce as a first go round. Applesauce is hard to find here and very expensive when you do come across it in Managua, the country's capitol.
I added dulce, a by product of processing sugar cane (Nicaragua has THE best rum!) and the resulting applesauce was increíble, as they say here. Ended up adding the homemade "applesauce" to bread and got a delish honey apple raisin bread. One good enough to make every day! Wouldn't you know it, they haven't been in the market since and no vendor can tell me why or when they will come back. Ooh, this is an exasperating place to live at times! |
