Strange Fruit
On an evening walk with my friend Lucy and her 10 year old
daughter Christina, we stopped at a fruit stand. I cannot remember the Chinese name of the
fruit we bought, and there is no English equivalent—apparently it does not grow
in England or the Americas. Its outer skin is tan and crinkly, resembling a
candy wrapper. The inner orange fruit is
sweet, something like a cumquat.

I've grown something similar. We call them ground cherries. They make good pies. My grandmother used to make them.
