ckreef Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 Quandong is a wild, desert peach type fruit native to Australia. Both the nut and fruit can be eaten. It is a hemiparasitic plant which uses the roots and base of other plants to get the majority of it's water and nutrients. This has made it a difficult plant to cultivate. Although some orchards now exist a large portion of the available fruit is still harvested in the wild. A huge shout out to @Aussie Ora for giving me the opportunity to experience this exotic fruit. I started by poking with a fork and marinating for a bit in peach infused white balsamic vinegar. I rubbed them down with Bush Tomato Seasoning. For grilling I had a dredge plate of the Quandong and Chilli Sauce. Grilled direct for a few minutes, dredging them in the sauce along the way. Very tasty. This was an excellent choice for a quick weeknight meal with an exotic sweet peachy flavor. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting to the point where the same old American flavors just don't cut it anymore. You're making an addict out of me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FotonDrv Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 Did you get that sauce in the USA? Is it possible to get here? Or should I just mix a peach compote with Sriracha? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that said I've cooked a lot of pork Tenderloins using a peach preserves mixture. Peaches and pork go well together. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shipping to and from Australia is a little expensive. When I ship a small box to Aussie Ora it's $50 USD. If I did the exchange conversion right it's about the same for him to ship me a box.

I have had requests to make items to be sent to Austraila and I always tell the folks that it costs more to send it than it does to make it.

Yup shipping costs more than what's in the box. For me and Aussie we're paying for the fun factor and a chance to try things we never would have. Worth every penny to me.

tony b Posted December 24, 2016 Report Share Posted December 24, 2016 Given that ya'll are confirming that there's no cheap shipping option to/from Down under, guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and pay up. Definitely want to try some of these products. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
