Last fall while visiting a friend in Dallas, I learned about Horse Apples. You can read my original post on this interesting fruit here.
I suppose I'd seen them before, but never paid them any attention. Turns out there is a Bois D'Arc tree near my home. It dropped its horse apples into the street for weeks.
I gathered some up and brought them home to enjoy. They fit perfectly in the antique wooden dough bowl I found while in Santa Fe this past summer.
