Yes, it is an raw air-dried [Italian-style] of preserving.
Similar to the prosciutto-style but sometimes adding sugar, as
well as the salt.

      Title: TASMANIAN MOUNTAIN PEPPER
 Categories: Spice, Australian
      Yield: 1

           ;

TASMANNIA LANCEOLATA:
This native pepper is widespread in western Tasmania.
Also known by the tradename of DIEMAN PEPPER.
The Tasmannia species belongs to the WINTERACEAE family, which
has been used by Europeans from at least 1597 when the bark of
the DRIMYS WINTERI was used to relieve scurvy on board the
'Elizabeth', one of Drake's fleet, under the command of Captain
Winter.

In autumn the shrubs are covered with clusters of black-purple
berries. The globular fruit split easily to reveal the soft,
lilac innner flesh, each half holding a number of tiny shiny
[firey-hot] black seeds in a central cavity.

The best preservation method seems to be inverted drying.
Freezing the berries is not recommended as the fruit suffers
greatly upon thawing.

 HC> Why?,.

Because it is one region of the emu where there is a
significant portion of meat.
