Tamarillos on the tree

For those interested this is how they grow, they look stunning bright red baubles . ( this photo sooc is a bit muddy ) the trees grow to about 2m, in NZ they ripen in winter, so they need a frost free situation.
Neat! Seems like a cross between a tomatillo and a tomato

I remember them , such a beautiful fruit. I also used to love Fejoia (think that is the right spelling)

Well, I googled and wish I could taste them. Nice to see their habit of growth.

@helenhall looking at recipes recently they are very versatile, i even saw someone use them with the seeds sieved out in hummus, which i would try if i had enough of them! they make a beautiful chutney, i have only used them as a fruit, raw or cooked, , the flavour really lifts with some sugar. simplest is cut in half and eat with a spoon , sprinkle of sugar optional
