Fruits in season this September

Last weekend, the trip to the market yielded the usual fruits plus one of my favorites - atis or sweetsop. Upon arriving at home, I was elated to see a bag of familiar fruits - rambutan. Turned out that my father sent some from the tree at our home in Cainta. The rambutan is as sweet as I remember and certainly a joy to eat.

The atis also turned out to be fleshy and sweet. I bought a few that was already turning ripe and enjoyed one after dinner last Saturday. The trip to the market this morning though did not result in the purchase of more atis. I found the ones available to be smaller and with the tell tale signs of pests - borers. So I passed on buying atis, settling for the usual bananas, cantaloupe melon, dalandan and kiwi.
