Karrajkarraj (Curry Orange), 2023
$90.00
This painting depicts Karrajkarraj (Plum or Curry Orange – botanical name, ziziphus quadrilocularis). The fruit are eaten when they are ripe and dark brown. They are sweet and tasty. The flesh of the fruit are eaten and the seeds and skin are spat out. The fruit can also be collected from the ground when they are dry. If the fruit are bitter they can be boiled in water with sugar to make them sweet. Another way of preparing them is to warm them on the hot coals. They are also cooked wrapped with marlarn, or nalij (the green water weed). This moistens them and makes them nicer to eat. The fruit are ripe during the cold weather time of the year in the middle of the dry season. If there are lots of unripe fruit, they can be heated and lightly cooked in a ground oven to make them quickly ripen ready for eating. The leafy, rounded canopy provides dense, cool shade. The timber can be used for firewood (warlu).
