Every year about this time, its our fruits season.
Two weeks back, I took a walk around the back yard and spotted these? Last weekend, we harvested the fruits.

Its one of my favourite, the Mangoesteen (Gracinia Mangostana) look at the white segments of the flesh...juicy and sweetly.
and this was sitting on the front porch when we got home on Saturday, 2 boxes full of the durians (Durio zibethinus) MIL used to have 3 durian trees in the back yard including a chiku (chickle sapodila ) tree and pulasan (poolasan) (Nephelium mutabile Blume - which is a close allie of the rambutans) before they were fell to make way for space to dry cuplumps rubber or rubber scrap.
this carries a strong smell which might be unpleasant to some but the rich cream custard like pulp is sure a yummy!
2 types of Jackfruit, the smaller 2 are Cempedak (Artocarpus chempeden) and the larger one, this is really hugh in size is the Nangka (Artocarpus heterphyllus). These were planted in the old house.
Eat the Cempedak fresh or made it into fritters but not the nangka. Nangka is always eaten fresh or is there any other way?
* Images of the ' cut open' fruits are from image search as I have yet to cut the fruits. These are part of our local fruits
Now for some stitching news
Received word from Dawn that she received my PIF - my 3rd. I gave Dawn her favourite things which are : color blue, pussycats and a lighted Eeyore pen by Disney and 2 cuts of fabrics. Design by Aurelle, if I am not mistaken..I must check this out and finished into a pinkeep and surprisingly this took a shorter time to reach her compared to the last envie.
