Sonja frequently fantasises about black sapotes or chocolate fruit. Her seemingly greatest lament in life is the chocolate fruit true that she never was able to sample in Rockhampton.
By chance we found someone selling black sapotes at the markets a couple of Sundays ago. We purchased five of them and allowed them to ripen. Knowing, from a previous experience, that they needed to eaten with something, Sonja found a recipe for black sapote recipe.
She made it tonight at my place, using a muffin tray instead of a cake tin. The resulting mini-puddings tasted like a delicate very mild chocolate pudding. Clinton decided that the best way to enjoy them would be with a cherry sauce, like in a black forest cake. As we didn't have cherry sauce, we substituted a Tasmanian raspberry sauce. The sauce was given to us by our friends Lachlan and Clansi at their wedding. It has sat in my cupboard waiting for the perfect opportunity. So for desert, we had black sapote pudding with Tasmanian raspberry sauce! Delicious!

they were quite nice... you could get into eating them if you had a steady supply of black sapote
Delighted to hear that you put the raspberry sauce to good use. I think we still have a large bottle of it in our cupboard, so perhaps we'll have to bring it up to Queensland for a Black Sapote festival. The chocolate-pudding-like delicacies sound marvellous, so its good to hear that there are perhaps a few consolations to living in Queensland!
