FAQs about red tamarillos
The skin of a red tamarillo can often be bitter and unappetizing, so most people separate the skin from the pulp before eating the center of the fruit or using it in a recipe. The easiest way to get to the delicious pulp is by cutting the tamarillo in half with a knife. Then, you can scrape out the pulp, seeds and all, into a bowl and discard the skin. Alternatively, you can boil the tamarillos for three to four minutes, plunge them in cold water, and peel them.
Red tamarillo is a tart, sweet delicacy when eaten plain and raw, but the fruit also makes a great addition to all kinds of recipes. One popular way to incorporate tamarillos into your diet is by using them raw as a base for a chutney alongside onions, apples, vinegar, brown sugar, and cayenne pepper. Or, bring out their sweet side and poach them with a syrup of honey, vanilla, and sugar. This mix can be served over ice cream. If you're adventurous, red tamarillo can be used in many dishes that call for tomatoes, including a juicy, tangy take on grilled cheese!
Although there are some interesting ways to use green tomatoes in your cooking, green tamarillos have proven more resistant to this kind of creativity. Unripe tamarillo is usually very sour, and most people find it unappetizing no matter how it is prepared. Fortunately, if you have green tamarillos, all you need to do is wait until they are red and ripe enough to enjoy them.
