Fig Sherbet – Cactus Fruit
Fig sherbet is a flavor that I met thanks to Ali Usta while I was doing my internship at Kivahan. I love cacti, but I've never seen fruit before, and I've never had a cactus big enough to bear fruit.
Peeling the cactus fruit is a laborious task, even if you wear two layers of gloves, you have to remove thorns from your hands. The most practical way to protect yourself from thorns is to wash the fruit under the tap while wearing gloves and to partially remove the thorns.
After peeling the skin of the thorny fruit, the purple-colored and fleshy part that emerges from the bottom has a taste unlike anything else. You can even eat it this way if you want. Fruit is pretty hard to find around here, but if you have a supplier who can bring this kind of different stuff, it's fine. Love…
