TAMARILLO SORBET
Ingredients:
150 grams sugar
1 cloves
500 grams tamarillo
1lemon (juice)
Method:
In a pot, bring sugar and 300 ml (approximately 1 1/4 cups) water to a boil. Add clove and simmer until sugar it dissolves. Peel tamarillos and puree in a blender. Strain puree through a sieve and stir with sugar syrup (remove clove) and lemon juice. Let cool.
Process mixture in an ice machine maker, according to manufacturer's directions.
Alternatively, pour mixture into a shallow metal pan and freeze, stirring vigorously every 30 minutes to prevent large ice crystals from forming. (The more mixture is stirred, the smoother the sorbet will be).
To serve, scoop sorbet into bowls and garnish with tamarillo halves.

ROAST BEETROOT, ROCKET AND SPICED HALOUMU SALD WITH TAMARILLO DRESSING
Ingredients:
Caramelised beetroot
4 medium beetroot cut into 3cm pieces (I leave the skin on)
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup or liquid honey
1 tablespoon olive oil
Tamarillo dressing
2 large tamarillos peeled, flesh diced½ teaspoon dijon or wholegrain mustard1½ teaspoons liquid honey1½ tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Spiced haloumi
1 teaspoon curry powder
or use ½ teaspoon ground cumin and ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
¼ teaspoon salt
200 g haloumi cut into 0.5 – 1cm thick slices
Salad
4 handfuls rocket or baby spinach
¼ cup sunflower seeds toasted
Method:
Preheat oven to 200degC. Line an oven tray with baking paper.
Toss beetroot with maple syrup/honey and olive oil in prepared tray. Season with salt and pepper and roast for about 20-25 minutes, or until beetroot is soft and caramelised.
Place all tamarillo dressing ingredients in a small jar, screw on the lid and shake well to mix all ingredients together.
On a plate, mix cumin, turmeric and salt together. Dust haloumi slices in spice mixture to lightly coat. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large non-stick fry pan on medium high heat. Cook haloumi for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden outside, and soft and melted inside.

Tamarillo and apple compote
3 tamarillos
3 apples I used granny smiths
2 star anise
2 tablespoon raw sugar
A strip of orange zest
Juice of an orange
Method:
Tamarillos are hard to peel with a peeler, but easy if you blanch them first. Cut a cross in their bottoms, drop them into boiling water for a minute, then remove and drop them into cold water. The skin will then peel off easily by hand.
Add peeled and chopped apples, chopped tamarillos, spices, sugar, orange zest and juice to a sauce pan. Cook over a low to medium heat for about 10 minutes, or until the tamarillos have released their gorgeous ruby red juices and the apples are cooked. I prefer my fruit to still have some texture to it, rather than cooking it into a puree.
I then stir through the fruit and pick out the whole spices and orange zest. Biting into a whole clove isn't that nice. You could use ground cloves if you can't be bothered with this - maybe half a teaspoon.
Cool and keep in the fridge until you need it, or eat it hot straight away if you just can't wait.
Makes about two cups.
