Cape Gooseberries

We discovered a new fruit today at Harvest Market: Cape Gooseberries.  These are small yellow berries about the size of a cherry, with a sweet-tart tropical flavor and a floral aroma.  They taste kind of like a mango or apricot with notes of orange and persimmon.  Apparently they have health benefits.  I had no idea; I bought some because they smelled good.  This page has some recipe links.

Knowing how much you like discovering exotic new fruits, I think you might like to learn more about this group:

I think they have an annual Midwestern meeting in July in Danville, IL (or at least they did last year).
:^)
Interesting! I'd be tempted by the event if it were shorter and cheaper. Danville is on the way to my parents' house.
