We’ve used our wonderful Cape Trib star apples in a few different recipes including jam and cakes, but thank you to Grace Van Berkum for providing us with one of our favourite recipes yet - star apples smoothie. When our star apples ripen they arrive in their hundreds, so this is the perfect way to use them - happy blending ;-)

Ingredients:

1-2 star fruits (without skin and pits)

1 tbsp tahini

Handful unsweetened, shredded coconut

Raw honey to taste

Pinch of ground cinnamon

Pinch of ground cardamom

2-3 cups water or unsweetened coconut milk

1 cup ice

Method:

Blend until creamy and smooth. It will come out a beautiful shade of purple. Sprinkle with cinnamon and cardamon.
