Star Fruit & Berries


This is a new post in over two years, so let's go with something light and refreshing.
Star Fruit & Berries is indeed an uplifting dessert.



Preparation Time: 5 minutes
2 Servings

Ingredients:
1 Star Fruit: a ripe medium size: Star Fruit is bright yellow when ripe with thin brown lines along the five ridges. The flesh is still firm.
¼ cup Blueberries
1/3 cup Raspberries

Directions:
1- Rinse all the fruits.
2- Prepare the Star Fruit:
a) With a sharp fruit knife remove the brown outer edge on each ridge. It cuts easily. Don’t go deep with the knife. [editorial note: I like the sour taste of the brown edge, so I just remove them and eat them separately. But if you have a more conventional taste you can discard the edge.]
b) Cut off the two ends of the star fruit.
c) Slice the star fruit on its horizontal axis.
d) Remove the seeds whenever you see one.
3- Place the star fruit on a serving plate and add the blueberries and the raspberries to the dish. Enjoy this refreshingly starry fruit dish.
