I have some recipes for using this fruit, but it is not always available where I live. If I can't get it does anyone know what would be a good substitute to use! Thanks.

Never seen them in NZ.
I quite enjoyed them when I worked in Singapore. I have looked for them in NZ but never seen them. However others may have.

Think I saw them in Brisbane last year - I remember seeing the name but cannot recall what they look like. What do they taste like and how do you use them!

What about a nashi pear - they sort of tasted like that to me, different texture though
Hilt dwane they are yellow orangey oblong, with five or six points.When you slice them the slices look like stars thus the name.

Star fruit doesn't really have much personality - you could use watermelon or even cucumber.It's mainly there for the juiciness and crunch.
