Wax Jambu, Java Plum
Friends of mine in Brisbane, Australia have a tree that they call a
"Wax Jambu" or "Jambula", and they reckon the latin name is Euginia
Jambo.
I have done some web search on this and conclude that it must be either
the Syzygium Javanicum (wich is native to Sri Lanka, where she
originates from) or the S. Cuminii or any other Syzygium I suppose.
Supposedly it is also similar, if not related to the Australina
Lillipilly.
I was hoping that someone would be familiar with this fruit and would
know how to use it for making wine.
The fruits are supposed to be ready in the next couple of weeks.
If nobody can help me out here, I will probably follow the lead of the
lillipilly recipe on Jack Keller's recipes from visitors-page, but I
hope someone does know about this fruit.
Thanks in advance,
Karel
