And Marmalade Box

T THE ROSE APPLE or Eugenia Jambos HIS beautiful, dainty fruit is of the same large family of which the guava is a member, the Myrtaceæ, and also that to which the allspice, the Eugenia pimenta, belongs. With its rose odour and overdress and delicate flavour, it is an extremely attractive morsel. It may be eaten in its natural state; sliced, with wine and sugar; simmered gently with sugar so that a delicate, simple sauce is the result, or its top and seeds removed, dropped into boiling syrup for about fifteen minutes, then served whole, cold. In general it should be treated very much as is the guava for foods, either cooked for immediate use, preserved, or used in beverages.
