The grumichamas are finally starting to ripen, each day I can pick a small handfull, not enough to feast on, but still a tasty treat. The grumichamas taste sweet, somewhat similar to a bing cherry, with a hint of aromatic spicy after taste (not distracting or distastefull) - confirming its a clove relative.
In my hand I have two grumichama's (the dark purple fruit) and several ripe Suriname cherries. I never thought I'd say this, but these specific Suriname cherries actually trumps the grumichama's in taste. Of my four Suriname cherry bushes, only this one produces wonderfully sweet excellent fruit - so much so that I can't wait for them to ripen.
