Since it is Star Fruit season once again, I want to start posting some new recipes. I’ve been taking bags and bags of ripe Star Fruit into the school and the students are going nuts for it. I learned my lesson, though, and now they have to come to me either at lunch or after school to get the fruit. Otherwise, they are eating it all day and it’s distracting.
Sweet Star Fruit Relish
8 cups thinly sliced star fruit
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups cider vinegar
1 tablespoon whole cloves
4 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Wash and thinly slice star fruit. Make sure you remove all seeds and tougher skin or membrane. Cover with cider vinegar and let stand overnight.
Drain off vinegar. Combine star fruit with sugar and salt. Add cloves. Cook gently to the consistency of preserves. Let stand overnight.
Remove spice bag and reheat mixture to boiling. Pack into hot pint jars. Wipe jar mouths and adjust lids. Process in boiling water bath canner for 10 minutes.
Makes about 5 pints.
