Quenepas Juice

Print recipe

Tips

  • Quenepas taste like a cross between a lime and a lychee, with both sweet and sour notes.
  • These are best eaten fresh but can be used to make beverages, desserts, and jellies.
  • You can pop the entire fruit in your mouth, suck the fruit from the seed, and eat it! The juice can stain, so be careful!

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds quenepas, peeled
  • 1-inch piece ginger, blended and strained
  • ¼ liter of water
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • Honey, to taste

Directions

  1. Boil the water while you remove the quenepa skins and place them into a large bowl.
  2. Pour boiling water over the fruit and leave for 20 minutes or until cool.
  3. With your hands, rub the pulp from the seeds, massaging all the fruits to get the flesh and juice released in the water.
  4. Strain the mixture and add the lime juice. Sweeten to taste. Store in the refrigerator.
