What It's no apple, if that's what you're thinking. It's a type of sub-tropical fruit with a rich, creamy white flesh that tastes faintly of custard and originated in Peru, but is now grown all over Queensland. You can tell when
a custard apple is ripe by the way it gives slightly under your hand when you squeeze it - a bit like an avocado. Only eat them when they're fully ripe, or else they're likely to taste sour and chalky.

Where Harris Farm, Castle Hill

How Fantastic made into ice cream, but can also be incorporated into fruit salads. Alternatively, you can use them in a pie with rhubarb and brown sugar.
