Carambola

Carambolas can be eaten fresh, sliced into stars, or juiced. The sliced fruits have an aesthetically pleasing appearance and are often used as garnish for salads or drinks. Ripe fruits will have a honeyed, tropical aroma, as well as sweet-tart tasting notes of plum and grape. The entire fruit is edible including skin and seeds. Carambola juice can be blended with other tropical fruit juices or can be used for making cocktails and sangria. The fruit can be baked in pies, pastries, tarts and cakes. In Malaysia, they are stewed along with apples, sugar and cloves. Sour or slightly under-ripe Carambolas are best for jams and candying, and in Thailand they are salted and pickled. Young, green fruits are used to make relishes or chutneys. Ripe fruit is dried in Jamaica, concentrating the sugars and preserving for future use. Carambolas pair well with poultry, fish and shrimp. They can be used in marinades, sauces and braising liquids.
