Tastes of the tropics: watermelon and star apple fruit, with grapefruit on the far platter ©Laurel Kallenbach
On a Jamaica visit, I spent a week at a yoga and creative writing retreat at Bromley, a historic estate perched high in the hills in the St. Ann area. Every morning a platter of fresh tropical fruit appeared on the table. On this day, we dove into grapefruit, watermelon and star apple fruit—along with Jamaican coffee, of course.

Best photo to see on an icy winter day!
The sun is finally out again here in Colorado, but I do love seeing this during winter. It makes me drool…time for some breakfast.
Oooohhhh…what are those purple things?
Those are star apples: the purple variety. (There’s one yellow star apple on the plate too.)
