Caimito cooked pale parts (4,5)

I believe the answer is:

star apple

'caimito' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'cooked pale parts' is the wordplay.
'cooked' is an anagram indicator.
'pale'+'parts'='paleparts'
'paleparts' anagrammed gives 'STAR-APPLE'.

(Another definition for star apple that I've seen is " West Indian greenish- purple fruit".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
