"SouthAfricanPeppadews" news and stories

Peppadew is the first new fruit to be launched on the world market since the Kiwi 26 years ago. It is a South African fruit that have a hot, spicy yet sweet taste. Stuffed peppadews are now on sale at Harrods and various delis across the UK.

You can stuff them with olives and feta cheese but for the low down on the little darlings have a look at the cooksister's blog. Peppadews were discovered in the South African province where she grew up. One Johan Steenkamp discovered a chest-high bush of them in the garden of his holiday home in the Eastern Cape.  As the Jeanne, the Cooksister writes "The bush was laden with small bright red fruit something like a cross between cherry tomatoes and very round chillies - voila - the peppadew!"

Jeanne has two recipes on her blog for these uniquely South African specialties - Peppadew and Parmesan Muffins and Biltong, Blue Cheese and Peppadew Quiche.
