Mountain Pawpaws- what ever do I do with them?

When I was a child my grandparents lived in Frasertown Wairoa, for a bit & as I grew older I loved helping Nan in the kitchen & writing out her recipes- for hours on end. We would make a dessert called Fruit Delight with all kinds of cooked fruits- Mountain Pawpaw was a favourite They are pretty odd raw- we would eat the pulpy stuff from the middle (as kids do) but if you can be bothered

 peeling the ripe yellow outer fruit & cooking them gently, they suddenly become delicious.

Best with a little sugar added & even a squeeze of lemon juice.

It turns out that they are delicious with strawberries too. Just add yoghurt or cream.

Nan's Fruit Delight recipe is just here, if you fancy having a go at that. I'm just waiting to end up with enough ripe fruit to make it. It's been a long, long time since I last tasted it.
