Punch

I was recently in Guadalajara and while I was there visited a supermarket, buying up fruit to take back to my room to taste. I bought a large papaya, two types of guayaba, a tejocote, limes and baby bananas. I was talking to a woman who lives there about the tejocote and she shared this list of ingredients for a punch:

Guayabas
Jamaica
Tejocote
Nuezes
Azúcar de caña (Caña de azúcar?)
Ciruela pasas
Agua
Tequila

    When I have been in the tropics, the natives always say to squeeze lime juice on the Papaya flesh for the best flavor. I can confirm it is the most flavorful way to eat Papaya's.

    When Arie was young I would buy papayas, de-seed them and fill the cavity with currants and squeeze lime on the whole thing. Yummm

    Oh, and I believe the fruit I have pictured is called a tejocote (not tecojote) and if I can find how to edit the post, I will update it. It's the small orange-ish fruit next to the lime. It's a pome fruit, related to hawthorne, Crataegus sp.
