Cooking with Quandongs


The flavour of Quandongs is quite subtle so don't cook them with other strong flavoured ingrediants, eg bush tomatoes, lemon myrtle etc., but you can incorporate them with spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg and wattleseed.

You can also cook them with plums, apricots, peaches, apples and pears if you want to do a little fruit compote, chop in a few bananas if you wish......I've put chopped bananas in a pan with some brown sugar and cinnamon and just cooked them until the brown sugar has dissolved a bit and the bananas are soft then added them to the stewed quandongs...add some ice cream and drizzle some of the red quandong juice over...tastes pretty good, a great addition to that is some chopped walnuts not only for flavour, but also texture, otherwise it's all squish...if you know what I mean.

For stir frys etc where you might add the usual garlic, ginger, soy combo, you could also toss in a few quandongs there.
