I have issues with internet connection and mobile app that I use to enjoy my day on Steemit for 2 weeks now, but I'm trying to catch up with everything again. Let's talk about this fruit, Rambutan. This is not the first time I share about this fruitπ but once again, this is something familiar and easy to brag about because It grows in our house π, I mean the tree really grows in our house, it is part of my coffee kitchen at the shop.
this is how it looks like from the street
A Neighbour told me before that she never seen My FIL eaten the fruits, He picked up and then shared it to everyone, I was wondering whyπ― until He asked me when His son and daughter have a Rambutan Party and He just watch over them π. "Can we boil the rambutan, and would it be soften then, Ci?" πππ Oh My Goodness, now I know why he didn't join the party. Well.. My FIL is 80 YO and almost toothless. So, the answer is "Yes, Off Course, Father, why not?" π
And This is My Rambutan Soup for My Toothless FIL π
the proceed is like making the canned rambutanπ
All I need to make this are:
20 seed-free fresh rambutan
4 spoon full sugar (you can skip)
A pinch of salt
A piece of cinnamon bark
200 ml water
the hardest part of making this soup was to get the seed out, it easier to use your teeth to separate the flesh and seedπ
but I think that I will swallow all the fruits instead of making rambutan soup if i use my teeth π
Next, boils the water and sugar till teally boiled, add the cinnamon and then the seed-free rambutan, the salt (you can add cayenne and lemon juice too if you like it, I skipped because My FIL doesn't want itπ). Turn off the heat and let it cool down and the rambutan soften before serving. You can eat it warm or coldπ.
I served it to My FIL while it still hot and when I checked on him in 30 minutes after I told him to let it cool first, He already wash the dish ππππ. I haven't had a chance to taste any of itπ.
I assumed that the taste is nice and the rambutan soup really soft for himπ.
do you want it? Come to my house before we pick all the fruits upπ
Actually, I also made another dessert with rambutan, people here call it "trendy rambutan salsaπ" or Rujak Rambutan Kekinian. Almost the same methode except that we need lemon juice, tamarind juice, sugar and fresh sliced cayennes, mix everything and keep it the fridge for few hours before consume it.
