What are these
« on: January 05, 2014, 09:56:00 pm »
Ok, so my DH has picked a couple of kilos of these sort of asian  fruit from our tree yesterday.

Does anyone know what sort of berry it is, it looks and tastes sort of a lychee on the inside.

Last year I made jam from them, but have heaps to use.
Thanks.

It's not an African apricot is it? Or a guava of some sort? Does it have a central seed, or lots or like citrus Robyn?
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Gert, I thought it could be a logan, we have lost the label from the tree.
They are yummy, no seed.
