Tamarillos are sweet and tangy and I wanted something beyond tamarillo juice.

  • Yield: 1 quart
  • Difficulty: Easy
  • Total: 20 minutes

Ingredients (6)

  • 8 ripe tamarillos (also called tree tomato)
  • 1 quart heavy beef stock (or chicken stock if used to accompany poultry)
  • 1 tbspn minced chives
  • 1 tbspn chopped cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Peel the tamarillos by immersing in hot water until the skin loosens.
