Shopping locally, I was sheepish to display my wares from my recent Asian market excursion.
As excited as I get about a home bound autumn harvest there was an equally impressive display of sugar apples, lychees, rambutans and of course these mangosteens.
I was going to make something with these. Really, I was.
Jelly or a sorbet. But I ate them. All of them.
They were fabulously tarty sweet and perfect.

Sigh. I wish that I could take pictures like you do. The mangosteens almost make me weep, and if I had taken the shot there probably would have been a few maroon blobs with blinding white flash spots on them. Needless to say, I LOVE THIS PICTURE.
Les photos sont toujours très belles
