The Rose Apple

 This fruit -- Syzygium jambos  (there are apparently hundreds of species in the genus) -- is a rural, somewhat rare, treat in Jamaica, it is often pink fleshed, smells of roses and tastes like sweet roses too:


An obvious relative of the Otaheite Apple we just discussed. (And yes, there are the usual claimed health benefits.) END
