Questions about Mammy-apple
What does a mammy-apple taste like?
Its firm orange flesh is sweet and fragrant, often with a tangy edge; the flavour is sometimes compared with apricot or passion fruit. Remove the large central stone before eating.
How can you tell when a mammy-apple is ripe?
Choose one with unbroken skin that gives slightly when pressed and smells fragrant. A very hard fruit needs more time to ripen; avoid fruit with soft, sunken patches or a fermented smell.
How do you eat a mammy-apple?
Cut through the thick skin, peel it away and slice the flesh from around the stone. Eat the flesh fresh, or chill it first; do not eat the stone.
Can you cook mammy-apple in jam or desserts?
Yes. Simmer peeled, chopped flesh with sugar and a little water until tender for a preserve, or fold the cooked fruit into puddings and tarts. Its aromatic flavour also works well in fruit drinks.
How should you store mammy-apples?
Leave firm, unripe fruit at room temperature until it yields slightly to gentle pressure. Once ripe, keep it in the fridge and use it within a few days; cut flesh should be covered and chilled.
Is mammy-apple the same as mamey sapote?
No. They are different tropical fruits: mammy-apple has a large central stone and firm, fragrant flesh, while mamey sapote has softer flesh and a different flavour. The similar names can make them easy to confuse.
Can you eat mammy-apple seeds?
No: discard the large stone and do not crush or eat it. Only the ripe flesh is eaten.
