CALIFORNIA PEPPER TREE

... grows on the other side of the fence, 50 feet tall. The California Pepper tree is native to the Peruvian Andes. The fruit is a pink peppercorn. The Inca used the outer part of the ripe fruit to make a drink for medical use. Around 500-1000 AD the fruit was used for producing chicha, a fermented alcoholic beverage. I should get the recipe.
The fruit when crushed smelles like pepper.
