How to pickle carambola

1. Salt pickling

When it comes to pickling, the first thing that comes to our mind is of course to use salt to pickle. First, wash the carambola, dry the moisture on the surface of the carambola, and cut the carambola into small pieces; then scald and disinfect the container for pickling the carambola, and dry it; then put the carambola into the prepared container and add an appropriate amount of salt; after marinating overnight, pour out the moisture inside, add an appropriate amount of white sugar and white vinegar, stir evenly, seal the container, marinate for about 4 days, and then it can be eaten.

2. Pickling with sugar

Wash the carambola, remove the thinner corners, cut it into star-shaped slices, and place them on the plate one by one without overlapping; then sprinkle white sugar evenly on the carambola slices, marinate for about half an hour, and then you can eat it. This kind of star fruit pickled with white sugar can remove the acidity and astringency of the star fruit, but it should not be stored for too long.

3. Pickled with red vinegar

Vinegar can also help remove the sour taste from the fruit. After washing the carambola, cut it into pieces, but don't cut it small; then put it in a bottle, add appropriate amount of red vinegar to submerge the carambola, soak it for about 10 minutes, and then you can eat it. This kind of carambola pickled in red vinegar has a shorter storage time and is best eaten on the same day. Because there is definitely water in red vinegar, the star fruit soaked in water will tend to become soft.
