While travelling Indonesia, we were on the lookout for local foods. At Bula, on the island of Seram, we made friends with some of the local boys, who later returned with bags of fruit for us. One of the local fruits in season was the Rose Water Apple, syzygium aqueum, which is beautiful little mauve bell shape that is crisp and watery to eat, with texture like a watermelon. We have been adding them to our muesli each morning. They seem to keep well in the fridge, so we will be looking for more when we visit markets again next.
