(Santalum acuminatum)
The famed fruit of the evergreen Quandong tree is also known as wild or desert peaches, as it originates in the arid and semi-arid regions of Australia. These vibrant red fruit are celebrated for their distinct shape and nuanced flavour of sweet and sour peaches. Whether eaten raw, cooked, minced or pickled, Quandongs can be used to infuse a distinctly Australian flavour in both sweet and savoury dishes- wherever conventional peaches are called for. For sweet applications, try sautéing Quandongs in an orange juice and sugar syrup to tease out the sweet and tangy flavours. Rinse before use.
