Up for grabs are jars of my delicious homestyle QUANDONG (Australian Native Peach) JAM, which is not only unique, but absolutely delicious! Besides this tasty "Aussie Bush Tucker" treat being great value, it is free of preservatives, artifical flavours/colours, and gluten/gelatine thickeners. All you get are Quandongs cooked with Golden Delicious & Granny Smith Apples, Packham Pears and White Sugar.

QUANDONGS, also named "Native Peach" or "Desert Peach" by early white settlers, have been a staple part of the Australian Aboriginal diet of for thousands of years. Though Quandongs can be eaten raw, Aborigines would usually dry them for future use, as did the white colonials who made pies, jams and jellies out of them. For many settlers and explorers, Quandongs were one of the only fruits available; in fact, the famous overland explorers Charles Sturt and John Stuart would probably have died of scurvy in central Australia had they not eaten wild fruits like Quandongs.

This strange looking fruit - whose peach-like kernel or stone is totally spherical and takes up most of the bulk - tastes like a slightly tart version of normal peaches, and is often compared with rhubarb. I would also add there are strong hints of Tibetan Goji Berries (and Chinese Wolfberries) and even a bit of Quince.

This conserve is my version of the countless Quandong Jam recipes cooked up over the last couple of centuries. It contains more than just the token amount of Quandong you often see in commercially available ones, which you can see from the photos below (the apples and pears are totally pureed, so all chunks are Quandong pieces). Craving the taste of the Outback? Grab a jar of this and enjoy the unique taste of Australia's native peach.
