First I washed and soaked the fruit.
Then I weighed the fruit to see how much salt I needed to soak them. It came up to 3 kilogrammes.
I put enough water to cover the cermai and added 6 tablespoons of Himalayan salt. This will be left to soak for 12 hours.
After soaking in brine for 12 hours, I rinsed the cermai and then added syrup. Finally I put a few tablespoons of sugar before closing the lid. I left it to for a day. I also added a bit of vinegar.
This is how the pickled cermai looked after a day soaked in syrup. It is then kept in the fridge.My pickled cermai. To be given to those who have been looking after the plants in the herb garden and those who helped pluck the fruits.
FYI I used brown sugar instead of white to do the pickling.
