Equipment
Ingredients
- fresh tamarillos
- water
Instructions
- Using a very sharp paring knife, cut an X on the blossom (opposite the stem) end of the tamarillo through the thick skin. Reference the video in the Post. Repeat for all of the tamarillos.
- Cover the tamarillos with boiling water. Submerge so that the fruit is completely covered. Allow the fruit to soak a minimum of 15 minutes. The longer the fruit is exposed to the hot water, the easier it is to peel.
- Drain water, and allow the fruit to cool until they can be handled. Using that sharp paring knife, insert under the skin and peel it off. It should come off fairly easily. Repeat.
- Slice off the stems. Using a sharp chef's knife, slice in half lengthwise. Proceed according to your recipe.
