Many of us possess that insatiable sweet tooth that demands sugar. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are not complete without the addition of something savory.

This is where lilikoi jelly comes in.

The word alone may cause you to scratch your head in wonder. This fruit is just coming onto the market. It is not very common, and until now has rarely been seen outside of the tropics. The reason for this is due to the plants requirements for warm temperatures, fertile ground, and large amounts of water. It produces fruit that is composed of lemon yellow cratered skin, is small, and is made of light creamy skin that encompasses black seeds.
