Susan – Thank you for hosting last week!

Stef – I’d never heard of them until we discovered them last weekend, but they’re a great find.

Suzane – I’m glad they stirred up some memories. Not sure where to find them, but I hear they germinate and grow very easily. If you like, I could inquire about seeds from the grower.

Maxine – They’re wonderful for ending a meal because they’re not too sweet – I’m going to have to try them with some cheese pairings, too!

Iagdo – I believe uchuva are the same berry. I had no idea how many different names these little fruit had! I’m curious to know if they are muddled into the alcohol or eaten along side?

Sara – Thanks for the link to your tasting – I’ve never had them made into a truffle like that with liqueur, but the fruit itself is almost perfumey sweet, lightly fragrant, and a little tangy. A bit like the cross between a tangerine and a blueberry.

Paul – It does make sense that they’d be originally from Peru, given their Latin name. I’ll have to keep an eye out for them in the Peruvian restaurants we have in San Francisco.

Kalyn – I was excited to find them too! Thanks for the visit.

Peter – Wow, I’m surprised to find them on a hotel catering menu, that’s great – how did you like them?

Bee – Thanks!

Randi – I was hoping to pick up some more for jam, but the farm didn’t have any this week. I’m hoping they’ll have more soon though. Glad we brought back some good memories.
