Da bin ich schon gespannt wie die kaltgerührte Marmelade aus PawPaws schmecken wird
Es kommt darauf an, wieviele PawPaws mir meine Bäume nächstes Jahr spenden wollen, dann teste ich auch, ob das mit dem Rumtopf und dem Einkochen klappt. Ich fürchte jedoch ebenfalls, wie du sagst, dass der Geschmack leider schon leidet, wenn man die PawPaws erhitzt. Frisch gegessen haben sie für mich einen fast zitrusfruchtigen, melonenartigen Nachgeschmack, der möglicherweise beim Erhitzen verfliegt.
Im Internet bin ich zu Geschmack, Geruch und der Verwendbarkeit von PawPaws auf eine nette "Lesefrucht" (auf Englisch) gestoßen (ich glaube ich darf noch nichts verlinken, sonst hätte ich die Quelle gern angegeben):
Zum Geschmack:
"Taste
Flavor wise, it tastes like a cross between a mango and a banana with a vanilla, custard-like texture. The Shenandoah has the firmest texture, which can be used for picking and slicing. Other varieties are more custard-like, and can be used to make ice cream or some sort of dessert."
Zum Geruch, oder besser: "Duft"
"The Scent(s)
Without cutting into it, pawpaw doesn’t smell like much. Once you’ve opened it up, the scents that waft into your personal zone depend on the variety you’ve got on hand. A Shenandoah pawpaw smells like fresh, yeasty bread, while a Pennsylvania Gold drops a stink bomb like a bad fart. The scents can range from flatulent-like sulfuric notes to instant creamed corn, onion, and ripened bananas. I ate a Shenandoah pawpaw today and my entire delivery van smelled like garbage, which is OK because durian fruit smells exactly the same, and everyone loves durian fruit, so whatever."
Warum man die Schale, die Kerne und die unreifen Früchte besser nicht isst, und was Küchenchefs damit machen
"The Deal Breaker
The skin and seeds are inedible. If you eat them, they will give you intestinal issues pretty quickly. The guy I source my pawpaws from told me that when you ingest the seeds or the skin, you get what’s known as “scratchy asshole syndrome.” I guess your butt gets super-irritable and itchy, like irritable bowel syndrome, or symptoms close to hemorrhoids. I don’t know. I’ve never swallowed a seed before, but I’d advise against tempting fate and avoid eating them altogether. And don’t try consuming unripened pawpaw fruit, because it will have the same effect. I tried telling one of my clients—a chef who is really obsessed with pickling unripened pawpaw—about this, and he didn’t want to listen. I’m pretty sure that his diners have been shitting themselves for the past three weeks with the pawpaw special that’s currently running on his menu."
