Fruit of the day: Riberries


Riberry trees are native to Australia, and are common "bush tucker" (tucker=food and bush=outback - basically bush tucker includes things you could live on out in the wilderness, but some of them have become gourmet items). We didn't pick these ourselves, but they're still really good! They're kind of cinnamon-y and really grow on you. They're great on crumpets and brie, or just plain. They awake that ancestral Gatherer in me and make me want to find someplace we can pick them!! (For those of you who have witnessed my compulsive berry picking, this will come as no surprise.)
