What is a "may apple"?
The may apple fruit, also known as the American mandrake, is a unique ingredient found in North American cuisine. With its yellowish hue and distinct flavor, the may apple adds a touch of sweetness and tartness to various dishes. While primarily enjoyed raw, it can also be used in preserves, jams, or desserts, lending its unique taste to pies, tarts, and sauces. However, it's important to note that the may apple should only be consumed when fully ripe, as the unripe fruit and other parts of the plant can be toxic if ingested.
