Nested Star Flowers

Instructions
1. Wash the sapodillas.
2. Make a small circular cut and remove some flesh from around the circle to form the center of the flower.
3. Lay out five pointed petals radiating from the center and groove them down the center.
4. With the tip of the knife, make a cut on one side of each petal from the base to the tip, moving the wrist back and forth. Make a similar cut on the other side of the petal, and then make cuts on each side one millimeter from and parallel to the first two. Do the same for all five petals and then remove flesh from beneath them.
5. Make the second circle of petals in the same way, centered on those of the first circle. When complete, peel the skin from the center and cut crisscrossing grooves in it.
