It grows in abundance here in Northern California on pretty trees that bloom with pink flowers. I think it's Asian, but I can't find any information on it. It tastes fantastic! Like a ball of apricot jam with many textures. It's hard to describe the taste, the appearance is easier to write about. The outside is completely round, yet bumpy to the touch. The bumps are right red dots with a translucent background that reveals the inside color. The inside is a bright orange. My snap shot above does not show it's beauty. It's quite beautiful in person.

By the way, congratulations on your new web site... good job!
Fantastic photos Maite. I wish I would have saw that post before I did my post. :) I would have stolen one of your pics! ...& given you credit of course. ;)
Funny about the alcohol thing. I ate one yesterday that was too ripe & it tasted like I drank some liquor! I had to spit it out. It was too intense for me. Really caught me off-guard. What a surprise. ;D)
I really like your new blog header. Looks beautiful. I like the illustration Fernando did of your name. The photo & that together look great. Perfect pairing.
Thanks for the website congrats. :) I'm happy that I finally got it out there. Yay! ;D)
Sending good vibes to Spain for you..
Xo!

Hi Aimee,
According to Wikipedia, arbutus unedo is also known as the Strawberry Tree. Supposedly, the fruit is not so delicious and that is why it got its name. Sounds like you enjoyed it, though!

Hi Marjorie,
If it's ripe (squishy-soft), it's very tasty! :)
