PICKLES - KAFFIR LIME

To tell the truth...i really have no idea how to make this pickle...however many thanks to recipes fr the web n blogs....

About 15 kaffir limes....wash and rise. Boil about 3 cups of water and add about a table spoon of salt. When the water is hot enough, dip the kaffir limes around 3-5 minutes.

People use to say that, if we use the brass pot / pan, the colour of the lime will remain fresh and green. Well....looks like my brass pot is not included.. :-)

 While it is still hot, pick the lime and put in a glass jar (around 4-5 limes per jar...depend on the size of course), leave the remaining water. In the glass jar, pour the vinegar (I used the nipah vinegar = palm tree) and add about 2 table spoon of sugar. Let it cool and keep it for couple of months. Void direct sunlight....

Limau Purut

Pokok limau purut ni menjadi kegemaran jiran2. Saya sendiri tak tau apa sangat nak buat sebenarnya...selalunya saya hiris, ramas dan masukkan dalam baldi...mandi. Macam best baunya....Ada yang kata sedap kalau dibuat acar buah...baru nak cari petua macam mana nak jerukkan buah limau purut ni. Hari tu (ingat ingat lupa) ada dalam tv3, ada petua acar buah limau purut, masak dalam periuk tembaga, cantik buahnya, kekal hijau.

Musykilnya, bila pokok ni dah besar, macam dah hilang durinya...atau pokok yang ditanam ni pokok kawin. Di depan rumah, ada tumbuh pokok limau purut, baru dalam sejengkal, tapi durinya, mak aii...tajam betul.
