"Sorbetto e Bigolai"
These are the araçás, wild berries, very similar to small guavas (Psidium guayava).
This is the indulgence of the week: pineapple and butiá popsickles with guava and araçá jelly, over a blueberry and melissa splash. I called this dish "sorbetto e bigolai", after my friend Neusa, who used to say this as a kid, whenever she saw the icecream seller. Its hard to explain, but bigolai is an italian approximation of picolé - popsickle in Portuguese. It's funny because bìgoli means pasta, with no relation whatsoever with popsickles. Neusa has been a friend of my family for many years, because she and my mom were raised as neighbors. She is one of my regional cooking mentors (the other being my nonna, of course).
