With some trepidation, I tried cherimoya for the first time, and was
 delighted with its flavor when baked.  As a raw fruit, it wasn't
 worth the novelty price paid for it.
  
 I like the other baked fruit as a dessert -- sugar free, fat free.

 Baked Cherimoya (VEGAN)
  
 1 cherimoya, 1 lb (large)
  
 Scrub the fruit clean.  Cut cherimoya horizontally in half and place
 fruit face down on an oiled pie tin.  Bake 400 F until the juices begin
 to caramelize and an aroma fills your house (about 1 hour).
  
 Serve face up.  The flavor is like a ginger custard.  The texture is one
 of custard.  The seeds are a bit of a bother, distributed throughout the
 fruit, so eat carefully.  Raw, the fruit resembles an apple-pear.
