Pulp Fiction: Cacao Fruit

“I’ve been playing around with cacao fruit. The pulp that grows on the outside of the cacao beans is usually left on the beans to ferment before roasting. However, some producers remove it and sell the pulp or a dried powder form. The pulp has a unique sweet and sour tropical flavor that creates a wonderful syrup for cocktails.”
