jeruk mangga

mouth watering....

i have never eating any jeruk (malay pickles) in my last two pregnancy. that is a lie. oh well, just a bit of jeruk betik muda in the first two months and it was forgotten. i couldn't resist this time. i wanted mango pickles. i looked for one that is made in the exact form that i liked and found it at the Giant. i left the kids in the car with the maid (who falls asleep immediately after i leave although i told her not to. thank God, i always ask her to lock the car.) and ran in to get it. 500 gm is about RM10.00 which barely lasts for a week. i have already spent RM20.00 on it and quite worried about the vinegar they used in preserving the pickles.

so, i looked up the net for the recipe and made it myself. it was the simplest thing to do and since i have a maid to help me cut the mangoes (i am very lazy, you know), i plan to make some more.

mango
lots of sugar
salt

i plan to add some apple cider vinegar the next time i make it just to give it a tinge of vinegar taste.

anyone has any other suggestions?
