STAR FRUIT UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE
We were pleasantly surprised to find that star fruit tastes a lot like apple in this star-studded cake. So we drifted toward warm fall spices like cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice. The tropical fruit is packed with fiber and vitamin C, not to mention making the cake a conversation starter!

Steps:
- Position an oven rack in the center of the oven, and preheat to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch round cake pan.
- For the topping: Melt the butter, brown sugar and lemon juice together in a microwave-safe small bowl in the microwave. Spread the mixture over the bottom of the prepared pan. Cover it with the starfruit slices by nestling them next to one another and overlapping (it will look crowded). Set aside.
- For the cake: Spread the pecans out on a baking sheet, and bake until nicely toasted, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool, then pulse in a food processor until finely ground. Whisk together the ground pecans, flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, salt and allspice. Set aside.
- Beat the butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating to incorporate after each addition. Scrape down the side of the bowl as needed. Adjust the mixer speed to low, and add half the flour mixture, then the yogurt, then the remaining flour.
- Pour the batter into the pan, spread it out into an even layer and give it a few taps on the counter. Bake until golden brown, a toothpick or cake tester comes out clean in the center and the cake pulls away from the edges, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack until the pan is cool enough to handle, then run a knife along the edge and invert the cake onto a serving platter. Let cool completely before serving.

PRESERVED STAR FRUIT (AKA FIVE FINGER OR CARAMBOLA)
This recipe is a time honored tradition in Trinidad and Tobago. Most people there dry it in the sun. I have adjusted to dry in the oven.

Steps:
- Remove either end of the fruit and slice into 1/4 - 1/2 inch pieces.
- Place in a large pot and cover with water and add the sugar and spices.
- Bring to a boil and leave to cool for 3 hours. The fruit will soak up the sugar and spices.
- Preheat oven to 150F.
- Drain any liquid off and keep it for something else.
- Place fruit on baking sheets.
- Place in the oven with the door propped open to allow the steam to escape. Turn every hour or so until the fruit is done.
- Store in an airtight container.
- The cooking time is only an estimate, it will vary with how much you drained off, the humidity etc.
