January 13, 2013

Having enjoyed our last picnic thus much, nosotros devised unopen to other ane a duet of weeks afterward amongst this fruit salad of Haalo's to her, I was compelled to give it a become for our get-together.

Fruit salads convey never been a passion of mine: likewise oft they're thoughtlessly composed, as well as almost never are they dressed. I liked that Haalo's ane held to a tropical theme, gained unopen to added texture from tapioca pearls as well as included a sweet-and-sour makrut lime leaf-infused dressing. 

Unfortunately my ain version lost its means amongst the tropical fruit theme. I establish enough of mangoes as well as a few rambutans at the markets but no lychees or longans, thus I barbarous dorsum on cherries. The cherries were splendid as well as non likewise much problem to pit, although I happened upon Cook Almost Anything)

3/4 loving cup castor sugar
3/4 loving cup water
vi makrut lime leaves, finely shredded
3/4 loving cup tapioca pearls
ii mangoes, peeled as well as diced
v rambutans, peeled as well as seed removed

Place the saccharide as well as H2O inwards a pocket-sized saucepan as well as ready them over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the saccharide is completely dissolved as well as the syrup is clear. Turn off the oestrus as well as add together the makrut lime leaves, thus that they infuse the syrup every bit it cools.

Place the tapioca pearls inwards a pocket-sized saucepan as well as comprehend them amongst lots of water. Bring them to the boil for v minutes as well as thus expire along simmering them until softened all the means through, close v minutes. Drain the pearls as well as pour one-half the syrup over them.

In a large bowl, stir together the fruit as well as tapioca. Test-taste as well as depository fiscal establishment friction match the wet levels, adding the remaining syrup to your preferences.
