Current status: harvesting and processing allspice! We are the custodians of the largest known example of Pimenta dioica on the island; while it is too tall to pick from, one of its children produces a ton of fruit every year.

These photos show one branch's worth of fruit (1140g wet mass) on its way through the dehydration process. Yes, the whole house smells like a pumpkin spice latté.

If you're on #Kauai and would like some, please let me know!

Morning bounty: allspice berries! Green ones will dry for grinding; purple ones go in muffins or Vickie’s mammee apple jam, or can be mashed fresh to flavor a home-made pumpkin spice latte. #berries #allspice #farming #gathering #kauai
