Santol in Syrup

Ingredients:

20 ripe big santol (without dark spots)
1 kilo sugar
2 cup water

How to make santol in syrup

Boil the santol in enough water until tender, taking care not to break them. When the fruits are tender, remove from water, drain and let cool. With a sharp stainless knife, peel thinly, taking little meat as possible. Halve each fruit crosswise so that each makes two equal cup-like pieces.
Remove the seed. Soak santol meat in rice washing overnight. Remove from rice washing and wash well in clean water, Soak again in fresh rice washing for another twelve hours. Remove from rice washing and rinse well. Drop santol in boiling water and cook for about five minutes or more. (Make sure the pan is big enough to contain all the santol without crowding.) Remove from water and drain.
Make syrup using 2 cups water and 1 kilo sugar. Boil until syrup spins a thread when dropped from a spoon. Add the drained fruit and cook in syrup for about 10 minutes. Remove from fire and cool. Let it stand in syrup for another 12 hours. Remove fruit from syrup and boil syrup anew. When it boils, drop fruit and boil in syrup for about 3 minutes. Remove from fire.

FoodSaver T03-0024-01 Bottle Stoppers, 3-Pack

Keep half-finished bottles of wine and open bottles of oil and vinegar from spoiling before they can be finished. This set of three bottle stoppers is for use with any FoodSaver vacuum packaging machine that has an accessory port and keeps opened bottles fresh three to five times longer than other storage methods. The corks plug into the bottles while tubing (sold separately) inserts through their tops and removes air from the bottles with the help of a FoodSaver machine (also sold separately). Freshness is sealed in and flavor is preserved until it is convenient to reopen the bottle again. This is an economical investment as it ensures that all purchased bottled food gets eaten and that there are hardly any throw-aways due to spoilage. These bottle stoppers are reusable and easy to clean and fit most standard bottle sizes. --Cristina Vaamonde
