Unique Fruit

Manzana de agua is the name of this fruit, translated it would be, water apple.  The flavor cannot be compared to any other fruit I've tried.  Ryan always gives me a hard time when I describe the flavor like a flower, but really it is for me the best description.  The shape as you can tell is very much like a pear only smaller.  The seed is similar to that of an avocado, only that it is not smooth.  The consistency of the fruit is somewhat like a pear.  It is not juicy or overly sweet, just a very fresh, clean flowery taste.  We first tried this fruit in Costa Rica.  The size was much bigger but still the same unique flavor.  We were very excited to see the fruit here in El Salvador even though the season only lasts a month or so.  We have get it while the gettin is good!
