Limoncillo or kenepas are small and green skin with a large pit and the meat like that of a grape, the size of a limonsillo is like a large grape and they are not related to citrus or limes or taste nothing like it.

Here in the campo we have two types of what is called limoncillo.
The first is excatly what M.A.R. describes as a large seeded fruit, small and green. The dominican kids love them. They are sweet, mostly pit.
The other limoncillo, as it is called, does not bear any fruit. Has huge thorns, much larger than a key lime tree (almost look like one) and the wood is very difficult to cut (with snips). For me this type is invasive along one of our property fence borders.
