The first day we arrived in Grenada, Laura Thatcher-Fletcher, one of the owners of Grenada Marine, introduced us to a local fruit that was quick to become a favorite treat of my kids. Here on the island, they are called waxy apples, but they taste nothing like a regular apple... They are sweet, with a lighter texture than a regular apple, and grow abundently on trees when they are in season. We were excited to find that there was one tree in the boatyard that the kids could regularly raid when they got the craving.
