 Lemon Aspen is found in tropical and
tableland forests of northern Queensland, up towards Cape York.
A pale lemon coloured
fruit about 1.5 - 2.5cm in diameter with a tough star shaped core -
textured much like an apple core. The core often contains very small
black seeds and the thin flesh is spongy. The fruit exudes an incredible
tropical citrus aroma (much more so when fresh) and a very strong acid
flavour of lemon and tropical spice characters.
Lemon
Aspen has a wonderfully tart lemon taste with a hint of grapefruit.
It works well with Quandongs and Muntries. They need to be picked slightly underripe.
100g of lemon aspen equals something close to the juice, zest and pulp
of about 6 large lemons
