Thanks 245sam I had a look. The gingernut recipe is also interesting and we had chopped sweetened tamerillos mixed with broken gingernuts for dessert last night. Hubby had Icecream with it,yummy.

Can people buy Tamarillios overseas? I allways wondered. Seems such a beautiful fruit for us Kiwi's to have all to ourselves... Could be the next 'Kiwifruit', ah, I mean next 'Kiwi'....

They make nice jam and the gold ones combined with dried apricot is also a nice jam. make yummy Chutney and sauce as well. Grill or fry with bacon as you would normal tomato. Nice stewed and mixed with stewed apple for crumbles and sponge tops also to have with cereal or in pies. Stew tamarillos and sweeten a little cool and drain. Make a red jelly using less water then when jelly is dissolved make up the amount with juice and add the drained fruit and allow to set. Bottled spiced tamarillos nice with cold meats

Hi there ace10 Just been looking at your recipe for chutney - I'm going to make a batch tomorrow. You used a heck of a lot of tamarillos! Were they fairly small ones? I know they come in a wide variety of sizes from absolute monsters to teeny weeny ones. I've found several recipes - most call for 24 but don't specify size. Cheers, Bruce

for fruitluva Upside Down Tamarillo Cake


4 tamarillos, sliced in half
1/3 cup caster sugar
1-2 Tablespoons honey
125g unsalted butter
2/3 cup caster sugar
2 eggs
½ cup self raising flour
¼ cup almond meal
custard and fresh tamarillos to serve
METHOD

Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease and line a 25 x 8 cm (1 litre capacity) loaf tin.

Place skinned tamarillos in a saucepan along with the caster sugar, 1 ½ cups water, and honey. Slowly bring to the boil. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Remove the tamarillos and reserve the poaching liquid.

Beat butter and sugar until light and creamy. Add eggs, one at a time. Fold through sifted flour and almond meal.

Place tamarillos in the base of prepared tin. Pour over the batter and bake for 45-50 minutes or until cooked.

While cakes are cooking, return the poaching liquid to the heat, simmer for 10 minutes or until syrupy.

Turn cake out and serve with syrup, custard and fresh tamarillos.

hi fruitluva2 Tamarillos are around and a bit pricey but you only need a few for the cake. To make them go further use sliced tart apples and tamarillos,about 1/4-1/2 amount ,apples to 1/2 amount tamarillos . Have you looked in your local supermarket or have a veg market where you are?

They are expensive this year because of the heavy frosts. Even in Northland many orchards have been wiped out this winter. Luckily we do not get frosts and can harvest a bucket full every week at present.

I use them in mixed salads instead of tomatoes in winter and it tastes superb - if they are properly ripe .... Beware of the firm ones with bright green stem in the supermarkets. They will need another 2 weeks at least to ripen - and may never get fully ripe because they were harvested too early ...

Tamarillo Smoothie 4 tamarillos,
1/2 cup milk (chilled),
1/2 cup yoghurt or 2 scoops of ice-cream,
2 Tsp honey,
1 banana.

Peel the tamarillos by pouring over boiling water. Let stand for 3-4 mins, drain and refresh with cold water. Remove the skins. Puree tamarillos in a blender or food processor, add in the banana and process again. Add remaining ingredients and serve.

The simpleist tamarilla recipe around. Dunk your whole fresh tamarillos in boiling water for a few minutes, take out and pull skins off. Slice into quarters (just as many as you think you can eat). Put into a non-reactive (not metal) bowl. Sprinkle with a bout 2 tablspns sherry for every 6 tamarillo and the same with brown sugar. Leave in fridge for a few hours. the juices will dissolve the sugar and a rich, sweet sauce will be created. Eat tamarillos and sauce over ice cream or make palin sponge cake and create a dessert with that.

Ugg just read my second to last post. Hope you can make sense of it with all the spellys and typos.

I wondered a bit buzzy especially about the "palin sponge cake" which sounded rather dodgy. You getting high on the sauerkraut juice?

uli - 2009-08-28 17:28:00

Nah. Just in a hurry. Have to rush my husband off to work and was really supposed to be cooking his dinner, not chatting on here. Also I think, from memory that I diced up the tamarillo not just quartered and only used about 2 tspns of sugar per 6 tamarillos not 2 tablspns. I reckon, that it is a recipe that would do well by preserving using the waterbath method as the sauce that it creates more than covers the fruit after a couple of hours.

Tamarillo and Apple Crumble .....easy comfort food Mum makes this one, quick and easy
Stew apples with peeled Tamarillo add honey or sugar, pop it in a baking dish with butter flour rubbed together with a bit of brown sugar for a topping.
Serve with cream or ice cream.
Very nice cold as well.
You can make this with rhubarb and apple too.

you can always cook them and peel and put into bags/ containers in the freezer for out of season use.

I love tamarillos on hot toast sprinkled with sugar, so do my kids and have now got my 18 year old daughter into them, she had never tried them and thought I was weird, now she beats me to buy them when they come into shops. Oh yummy

I can't stand eating raw tamarillos My mum eats them on top of ice cream, yuck! I like tamarillio chutneyl though, I must track down a jar, or make some

lookingfor most tamarillos you buy are not ripe! I always let them drop rather than pick them. They are very very nice with just a little bit of brown sugar on top.
