Hi Family. Unfortunately i didn’t get to record the process of making the How to make Carambola (Five-Finger) Fruit. And currently it’s out of season. Nonetheless, here is a detailed description of how it was made. To make this fruit, you need the following;

  • carambola (five-finger) fruits (use as many as you need)
  • sugar (to help get rid of the water in the fruit)
  • a large air tight bowl ( to store the fruit)
  • cake wine/cake rum (for setting/soaking the fruits)
  • spices; such as cinnamon powder or sticks/bark, ginger powder, freshly grated nutmeg, ground cloves, bay leaf

Instructions

  • wash the fruits properly. cut into smaller pieces, removing the seeds/center. place in a large bowl with some sugar (that helps it to string out the water)
  • you will notice that the fruits are wilting while springing the water. that’s ok. simply drain out the water (do this for about 4-5 days or until no water is forth coming)
  • in a large pot on medium low heat, add the fruits, spices and some sugar on top and allow it to steam. stir continuously as it will caramelize.
  • once it has dried down, caramelize sufficiently, remove from heat and allow to cool completely
  • add the cooled fruits to a blender, with some cake wine or cake rum and blend
  • place in an air tight container and store in corner on countertop in kitchen or in fridge
