Jobos [Spn/Eng]

The jobo is a wild fruit. Known among some people of other generations. In my childhood in the patio of the house that my father acquired was a very leafy plant I called it yellow plums, because they were big like the plums that ripen or harvest in Easter and it is already like a tradition, although sometimes we begin to see them after these dates by their times of maturation, instead these its shell was yellow, the leaves of the plant equal to the other plums already known. I don't think I have ever seen this type of tree again. We all liked it at home.

Of this type of jobos, my dad always told us that it was jobos, in my little head as a child and then adolescent the jobo I knew was this one. Then, I was introduced to another fruit and I was given the name of jobos, in my mind: this is not jobo for me, it was green shell that then turned yellow, it has pulp and also from its center come out as thorns. It is also very tasty, this type I like to eat it when I get my hands on it.

When I got my hands on this type of jobo, I told my husband that this is not a jobo, it looks like a plum...later I realized that it was a jobo.

I remembered the jobo juices that were made at home when there was a load of yellow jobos as I called them. So this is part of the story regarding this jobo juice.
