Golden Tamarillo Delivery or Pickup

You can't eat the skin on a tamarillo, but they're quite easy to peel. Start by bringing a pan of water to a boil. Then, drop the tamarillos into the boiling water, turn off the heat, and leave them in the water for 30 seconds. Drain the water, and you should be able to peel the tamarillos easily. Be careful not to leave the tamarillos in the water too long since this can cause the flesh to go mushy.

One of the simplest ways to prepare tamarillo flesh is to scoop it into a bowl and sprinkle brown sugar over the top. Cover the bowl and put it in the refrigerator overnight. The next day, the fruit and sugar will have combined to produce a sweet juice that goes great with ice cream or porridge. If you'd rather cook your tamarillos, you can poach them in a syrup made out of 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1 cup of red wine, and 1  cup of water for 15 minutes. Once the time's up, remove the tamarillos and let the syrup cook until it reduces by half. Drizzle the syrup over the tamarillos to serve.
