PISCO WITH SOURSOP (GUANABANA) CREAM (Soon)

The Sour sop is adapted to areas of high humidity and relatively warm winters, temperatures below 5 °C will cause damage to leaves and small branches, and temperatures below 3 °C can be fatal. Comparisons of its flavor range from strawberry and pineapple mixed together to sour citrus flavor notes contrasting with an underlying creamy roundness of flavor reminiscent of coconut or banana. The fruit is somewhat difficult to eat, as the white interior pulp is studded with many large seeds, and pockets of soft flesh are bounded by fibrous membranes. The sour sop is therefore usually juiced rather than eaten directly.

Is a broadleaf flowering evergreen tree native to the Caribbean, Central and South America, from Brazil north to the West Indies. It is also commonly grown in South-East Asia, where it is known by names such as Sirsak (Indonesian, from Dutch zuurzak) and Durian Belanda (Malay, lit. "Dutch durian"). It is in the same genus as the cherimoya and the same family as the pawpaw.
