Glossary: lemon aspen

Pale, lemon-colored fruit that grows on rain forest trees native to Queensland, Australia. The lemon aspen fruit (referred to as a berry) is about the size of a large grape. It has a thin skin, spongy flesh and small dark seeds in a tough, x-shaped core. The acidic lemon aspen has a spicy aroma and flavor that's like a citrus blend with a hint of eucalyptus. The juice is used like that of lemons in Australian cuisine. Availability is limited, typically only through Internet ordering.
