Acerola Cherry

It's May and that means it's the season when Acerola start to bloom and I've gotten tons already.
I pick Acerola a little early once I see a red tint and place them outside in a cool dry spot to ripen. It just takes 1-2 takes to get bright red. I do this to prevent snails, birds and Mealy bugs from damaging them too much. I've collected around 2 kg (4.5 lbs) in the past week and placed them in the refrigerator to stay fresh. I now have enough to make jam. Stay tuned...
