The Red Tamarillo is a fruit that originates from Latin America, but has been used in world cuisine, though it's not well known. Originally called the "Tree Tomato", it was named the Red Tamarillo to distinguish it and market it.The flavor, once cut open, is not very sweet for a fruit, fittingly. Katrina found the seeds and the area around them terribly acrid, and the flesh had a more pleasant, mild flavor.
I haven't run across a recipe for preparing these yet, but I suspect it is useful in a variety of dishes as a savory ingredient, or even possibly sweetened. But I'll be honest: it's not a good snack!
