Hello HIVE friends in the Vegan community. Today I got a mission from my wife to make pickled fruit which she often makes and enjoys because the fruit for making this pickle is readily available in the backyard so it's quite easy for me to make it. Apart from that, I have often seen my wife make this recipe so it wasn't too difficult for me to make it. The desired taste in this recipe is sweet, savory and slightly spicy and there is a sweet and sour taste at the same time which balances one another.
The ingredients I need to make this pickle are:
1. 1 papaya fruit that is medium ripe and weighs only 500 grams
2. Kedondong fruit (I estimate that this kedondong fruit is only 200-300 grams. I use this fruit so that there is a sour taste of fresh fruit in my pickles.
3. Kasturi Oranges (the number of my kasturi fruit is only 4-6 depending on the size of the orange)
4. 3 red chilies (if you make it yourself you can increase the amount if you want a slightly spicier taste.)
5. ½ tablespoon salt
6. 3-4 tamarind seeds
7. 100 grams of palm sugar
8. 500 Milliliters of water
The way I make this pickle is:
1. Wash the chilies and blend them with a little water until smooth then add them to the pan
2.After that, pour the remaining water into the existing pan
3. The next step is to add the palm sugar and I added it without having to slice it first
4. Then I added the salt and tamarind.
5. Boil over medium heat until cooked and stir gently so it doesn't burn, then after boiling, turn off the stove and let it sit first.
6. While waiting for the spicy sauce I made to cool, I will prepare the fruit first. The first is that I peel the papaya, then I remove the seeds, then slice it lengthwise to make it look more aesthetic
7. Likewise with the kedondong fruit and I made all these fruits in one rather large container.
8. Then, after I finished slicing all the fruit, the next step was to pour the spicy sauce into the fruit container
9. And the final step is that I add the Kasturi orange by cutting it into two parts, then I squeeze out the juice and I don't throw away the rest of the orange, but I also put it in the container.
10. My pickles are ready and I think I'll put them in the fridge. If I want to eat them, just take them out little by little.
My mission was successful with a taste that met expectations, namely sweet, spicy and savory and sour at the same time, then the taste of the fruit was slightly sour and the sweetness of the papaya which was still hard made me feel proud that I had succeeded in fulfilling my wife's request and I was very happy about that. Let's try my recipe and greetings from TOmidiwirja, Indonesia.
