Juices, juices, juices

Most of you dont know, but we at vonblum are a general mix of nationalities.
Predominantly we all have BRASIL in common.
Having told you that, now you might understand our excitement when we stroll thru a supermarket, and find a proper papaya, or a mango that is truly ripe.
Even encountering frozen acerola becomes a party.
We have been researching places to find all these fruits here, looking for new fruit combinations, keeping friends books for more info on what fruits to use for what function ( thanks TRUDE)
So, from Monday onwards for Breakfast, do try a fresh start with us :)

"Isn't she lovely like purple rain...."

Talking with a friend in Brasil, she mentioned listening to a song and always thinking of us.

Jabuticaba by bebel gilberto.

Unfortunately I couldnt even find a link to share it with you but it will surely be added to the vonblum playlist.

One thing lead to another and finally of course to a craving for the fruit.

So, today we would love to introduce you to this delicious fruit (and if you already know it, just take sometime and think of the last time you picked on that jabuticaba tree)

The Jabuticaba (also called Brazilian Grape Tree, Jaboticaba, Jabotica, Guaperu, Guapuru, Hivapuru, Sabara and Ybapuru) is a fruit-bearing tree native to Brasil.
The fruit is purplish black, with a white pulp; it can be eaten raw or be used to make jellies and drinks (plain juice or wine).

The fruit tree (named jabuticabeira in Portuguese) has red leaves when young, turning green posteriorly. Its flowers are white and grow directly from its trunk.

vonblum would love a jabuticaba tree, so we could pick them add them to one of our recipes and we all would rejoice on its sweet taste.
