I picked up some rambutan at my local Asian market.
Rambutan is a fruit native to tropical Southeast Asia and commonly grown throughout Indonsia, Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines. It is a delicious fruit despite its rather monstrous appearance. Peeled, it is sweet with a hint of sour taste. The texture is reminiscent of gummy candy although not as chewy. There is a pit. Rambutan Natural and peeled |

I have heard of these, but have never tried them. I'll be interested in seeing what you do with them!

That works!
I was thinking that they might be good as a component in an Asian-type grilling or barbecue sauce, or possibly a gastrique, but with no experience at all, I wouldn't be able to say for sure.

I had never seen a rambutan until I was in Hawaii last year, when I tried one. I liked it. Recently I just saw some in a local grocery store, which really surprised me. I did a little searching and found this recipe for rambutan jam. If I see them in the store again I'm going to pick some up and try this.
