24.01.2022 Further to the previous post, I have Amber & Rahjang & I can honestly say whilst Amber & Rahjang are superb fruits in their own right there’s no comparison to my selection, it’s without a doubt one of the best crisp jacks I’ve eaten! I’ll have to start grafting to preserve it! #quality #grafting #selection

23.01.2022 Don’t miss out on these tomorrow @mullumfarmersmkt , abiu, just like caramel flavoured jelly! Come & see us @piconeexotics for your share!

22.01.2022 Lyniana exocarpi, Australian native mistletoe, food source for the native butterfly Ogyris adenine & of cause the mistletoe birds. Very beautiful & delicate, distributed on our tuckeroo trees, Cupaniopsis anacardioides throughout our property. #australia #ausie #nativeflora

20.01.2022 Annona reticulata, this one supposed to have red flesh, wont know until they ripen. I think they’re going to be large fruit from the size of the stem which is presently over 15 mm wide! That is the pleasure & excitement, waiting for a new variety to be sampled!! #curiosity #fruit #annona

18.01.2022 Nothing could be easier than a baked ricotta. This one lightly salted with salt crystals, @piconeexotics pepper, anointed with EVOO & smothered in this season left over syrup from quince roasting. Bake for approx 1 1/4 hrs @ 180 c or to your preferred colour. Delicious straight out of the oven whilst still hot, when cold serve with tomatoes, in salads, with fruit, slices on sourdough with prosciutto, cannot go wrong!

17.01.2022 Annona purpurea, custard apple family with orange flesh, showing here the flower which apart from colour shares similarities with soursop flowers. Yet to try the fruit, trees are 5 m high & have been flowering for 5 years but haven’t set any fruit as yet! Being a fruit grower of unknown fruits is a test in patience!

15.01.2022 Come & see us @mullumfarmersmkt this morning for your jackfruit hit... delicious orange flesh with crunchy texture from @piconeexotics

13.01.2022 Our delicious, spicy pepper at various stages of ripening, pick some up from us @byronfarmers & @mullumfarmersmkt this week & cook yourself steak au poivre, you’ll be happy you did! #pepper #kerela #india #byronbay

13.01.2022 Cuttlefish braised in its own ink! Served with a green salad, absolutely delicious, the flavour of the sea. Can also be sliced & tossed through spaghetti. #sicily #italy#simple #taste

12.01.2022 Baby blue pilchards from @ballina_fishermens_co_op , super fresh so add salt & pepper to taste then toss in corn flour , leave until damp then toss in plain flour & deep fry till crispy, drizzle with lemon juice or dunk in garum, enjoy with a crisp bubbly or beer! #sustainableliving

12.01.2022 Black mulberries, second pick of the season & picking every other day! So don’t hold back chefs & home cooks you can buy from our farm, some of these mulberries are 4 cm long & delicious with no chemicals or sprays... absolutely natural & healthy. Try some with yoghurt, cream, tarts, pies & much more! #mulberries #season

12.01.2022 Lima beans, Phaseolus lunatus aka Madagascar bean, whatever you call them, never call them late for dinner. For me dressed with XV olive oil, balsamic vinegar, a squeeze of lemon, salt & @piconeexotics pepper... they’re the bomb! #madagascar #limabeans #nutrition

11.01.2022 Sometimes when we are picking in the orchard we receive some unexpected help, in this case a tree snake happily sunning itself about 4 m up one of our pepper poles. This does not stop us from picking some of the best pepper in the world to bring to you fresh which will be available @piconeexotics on Thursday @byronfarmers & @mullumfarmersmkt on Friday this week. This lot we picked with the help of our friend will be dried into black pepper!

11.01.2022 Thit Kho, Vietnamese caramelised pork belly in coconut water, sound delicious, it certainly is!! Super simple.

10.01.2022 Sicilian ‘Sfinci Di Uova’, known in the family as egg-puffs, a Choux pastry type dessert which is as light as air & can be filled with any type of custard, chocolate, sweetened ricotta etc etc...difficult to stop at one even for those that don’t eat sweets! Because they are so naughty we only make once or twice per year. #sicily #dolce #italy #decadence

09.01.2022 Our jaboticabas are going ballistic, look out for them @piconeexotics in a few weeks!

08.01.2022 Sitting here having a quiet tipple, the air surrounding is permeated with the heady fragrance of Brunsfelsia pauciflora , if you don’t have one your’e you’re missing out!! The plant that is!!!

08.01.2022 West Indian lime, aka key lime, if you enjoy baking now is your chance to make delicious Key Lime pies with these delicious, fragrant & acidic limes. Regarded as the original lime, these little beauties really pack a punch! Pucker up!! @piconeexotics this Friday @mullumfarmersmkt

07.01.2022 Santol, abiu, West Indian limes, giant black bamboo & of coarse crunchy & soft jaks, fragrant & sweet pink & white guavas & sadly the last of our Pearl dragon but we will have reds, available from @piconeexotics tomorrow @mullumfarmersmkt

05.01.2022 Re post Thit Kho, Vietnamese caramelised pork belly , recipe by popular request! 500 g pork belly cut into 2 cm slices & about 12 cm long. 50 g sugar ( I use brown ). 2 Tbsp water. 4 spring onions, crushed & cut into 5 cm lengths... 750ml coconut water, may need to add more. 1/3 c fish sauce. 3 chillies cut into quarters length ways - or to taste. Vietnamese mint, coriander or nasturtium to garnish. In a wok make a caramel with sugar & water until its sticky, don’t overcook. Add pork & toss over high heat to coat, allow pork to take up the caramel & pork is nicely coloured & charred. Add coconut water, bring to a boil, skim off any impurities. Reduce heat to low simmer, add fish sauce & stir in. Simmer for about 30 mins. Add spring onions, stir. Simmer for another 30 mins, by this time liquid will start to thicken, stir occasionally, add chilies, stir to coat pork in the sticky sauce, do not dry it out. Garnish. Serve with rice & wok tossed veggies. Tag me if you approve! See more
