When life gives you...grumichamas

We have two grumichama trees here at Ohana. One tree had a bunch of ripe fruit and the other is loaded with baby green fruit starting to come through.

I had the brilliant idea to pick the seemingly bountiful supply of ripe grummies to make a jam. Five minutes later, it became apparent that there was never going to be enough for jam....but definitely enough for a delicious grumichama sauce!

I boiled up the fruit with a little water, mashed it with a potato masher, strained it through a sieve and back into the saucepan with a handful of sugar. 15 minutes later it had bubbled down into a delicious, fruit, cherry/berry flavoured syrup.

We enjoyed it served over frozen, store-bought vanilla cheesecake - and it was still amaze-balls!
