Quandongs ~ Santalum Acuminatum ~ Native Wild Peach

Our Quandongs are just beginning to ripen and the trees are quite loaded with fruit. We don’t harvest the fruit until it falls to the ground, we then cut the flesh from the seed (which is quite time consuming). Once pitted we lay the fruit on trays in the sun to dry.

If you’ve been a guest at Nuccaleena Cottage you will have received your complimentary jar of dried Quandongs and have hopefully you have made them into our delicious Quandong pie recipe. If you haven’t yet you really must, it’s quite simple and really yummy! To check out some guest comments about this recipe please click here
