The weather today seemed to be ideal for filming
These lemon and madarines trees are blooming
looks delicious
Welcome to our new episode
The weather suddenly changed its mood and started raining
Strong winds kept coming
it rang my wind chimes
[wind chimes sound]
I decided to make some pickled fruits
I'm not sure this is the way it's named
like always I washed all of the fresh ingredients first
the orange colours are so attractive...
this recipe is the best way to treat unstabled weathers. Like today
I added some baking soda
and started to rub the fruit's surface
one by one...
this will help remove all bacteria and reduce the bitterness a bit
then rinsed again with warm water
look at the orange colour...<3
perfectly shinny ^^
done :)
I started to peel their skins off and slice them
prepared all the needed stuffs before doing
I used boiled water
added a bit of sea salt
I used about 2 tsp for two bowls
okay, start!
Throw back to the day when I did not know how to cook
I used to cut my nails when peeling off veggies skins
there are lots of things that seems simple
but turn out complicated...
it's just so unpredictable
like Melbourne weather...
Be careful when peeling the mandarines skin off
without the outer skin, it's become "weaker"
I did not notice this until I finished peeling
all of them...
are juicy
do it gently, don't rush
ortherwise you will lose a lot of juice
I cannot keep the round shape of these mandarines
because of my lack of caution when peeling its skins
rinse the skins over with water
and queeze them to let the bitterness release
The yellow water contain essential oils
I refined it and put into jars
you can use it for cleaning purpose, making scented candles or for beauty treatments
keep in frigde
time to arrange them in the jar
I'm not a professional in decorating food
but I will try my best T^T
Come on...stay in line
gentle gentle
add abit of sea salt
honey
minced ginger
I was trying to be as much gentle as I could
I added the skins on top but you can devide in layers
a bit of cane sugar because my camera man loves sweet
refreshing colour :)
second round
the ratio is really up to you guys, I don't have any accurate measurement
Close the lid and put in cool area, you can use it after 1 hour
Thank you for watching
