STAR APPLE

a tropical American fruit of the Sapodilla family, about the size of an apple, with skin of green to dark purple. When cut crosswise, it presents an exceedingly attractive appearance--the pulp, of "crushed raspberry and cream" color, marked by a central star of translucent "jelly," holding several large, flat, brown seeds. The flavor is rather peculiar, but it lends itself to many forms of preparation.
