This is the final Freaky Fruits Friday post for this year..........

I hope you have enjoyed this 3 week adventure brought to you by Melissa's Produce and hosted by Cam of Culinary Adventures with Camilla.  I know that I have certainly enjoyed creating and sharing the recipes with you.

There is no way that I could share all of the wonderful produce provided by Melissa's Produce in just three posts.  I shared some of them in other events, groups and recipes that I created.  This Blood Orange Salad with Blue Cheese and Pecans was amazing as were these Shrimp Tacos with Apple Pomegranate Salsa.

I even have some recipes that I made and haven't had time to share yet!

Like this Dragon Fruit Smoothie

And this Sauteed Chayote Squash with Onions and Bacon.

Kiwano is also called Horned Melon and you should be able to find it at your international marketplace. It reminds me of cucumber in taste and I believe it is a member of the cucumber family.  The seeds, like cucumber seeds, are edible but some people prefer to remove them and only eat the peeled flesh.
