Starfruit

I first tried starfruit about 15 years ago.  I liked it then, but forgot about it until lately.  I was at the store with my 4 year old daughter when she saw a starfruit and wanted to try it.  So we got one.  It was a hit with both daughters.  We got another one this week.  I'm always glad when I can add a new fresh fruit to what the girls will eat.
As you can see, it is shaped like a star which you can see better when it is sliced up.  It has the consistency of a firm but ripe pear.  The taste is a mixture of a not-too-sweet pear and a sweeter-than-usual Granny Smith apple.  It is very juicy and refreshing.
