I had to do a few searches to find out what Mui was. This can be done with other dried fruit. It is common in Hawaii and I think it comes from Vietnam. Ingredients:
2 quarts star fruit, cut in slices |
3 lemons, juice of |
1 1/2 tablespoons salt |
6 tablespoons sugar or 9 tablespoons raw sugar |
1/8 teaspoon chinese five spice powder |
2 1/2 tablespoons whiskey |
Directions:
1. Dry star fruit in the sun for 2 days.
2. Rinse.
3. Combine remaining ingredients and bring to a boil.
4. Add star fruit and simmer about 15 minutes, until shiny and transparent.
5. Cool.
6. Store refrigerated in sterilized jars.
7. Age 2 to 3 days before eating.
