In January we took some salaks to David and Mala who run the Hot Wok Indonesian restaurant [now renamed to Indonesian Bistro]at Atherton on the Tablelands. Mala decided to preserve them and then over Easter visited us at Cape Tribulation and brought some preserved salaks for us to try.
Here is a sample. They have been cooked until tender - test with a fork - with cinnamon and cloves. It tasted a bit like stewed apple. She had frozen the salaks until she was ready to preserve them and this turned out to be a bad idea as the structure of the fruit broke down too much. So we know for the next crop. And we have found a local market for our salak fruit.
