When I was small we had a tree in our back yard. It is also called cornichon and is a tasty addition to pepper sauce. Its natural acidity and tanginess are well suited to this.

Looks like a fruit we refer to as "bling bling or sowaree" in Guyana. Makes an excellent "sowah", kinda like achar but sweeter and goes well with Polorie, aloo ball etc. I think this fruit is also native to India and is mentioned in Ayurveda resources, also excellent for Diabetes.

I only discovered this 'fruit' last 2014 my neighbor has a tree, however my Guyanese relative is how i knew it was edible and so we made 'sour' to eat it with pholourie....

Remember it as Caramanga or one finger souree. It is good in making pickles.
