In this guide, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process of pickling star fruit so you can enjoy this delicious treat at home.

What You’ll Need

Before you get started, make sure you have the following ingredients and equipment on hand:

• 3-4 fresh star fruits
• 2 cups of white vinegar
• 1 cup of water
• 1/4 cup of sugar
• 1 tablespoon of salt
• 1 teaspoon of whole peppercorns
• 1 teaspoon of mustard seeds
• 1 teaspoon of coriander seeds
• Clean, sterilized glass jars with lids

Step 1: Prepare the Star Fruit

Start by washing the star fruit thoroughly under running water. Then, slice the star fruit into thin, even slices. If you prefer, you can also cut the star fruit into fun star-shaped pieces using a small cookie cutter.

Step 2: Prepare the Pickling Liquid

In a saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, sugar, salt, peppercorns, mustard seeds, and coriander seeds. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar and salt are fully dissolved.

Step 3: Pack the Jars

Once the pickling liquid is ready, pack the sliced star fruit into the sterilized glass jars, leaving a little space at the top. Then, carefully pour the hot pickling liquid over the star fruit, ensuring that the fruit is completely covered.

Step 4: Seal the Jars

After pouring the pickling liquid, use a clean utensil to remove any air bubbles from the jars. Then, place the lids on the jars and seal them tightly.

Step 5: Refrigerate and Wait

Once the jars are sealed, allow them to cool to room temperature. After that, transfer the jars to the refrigerator and let the star fruit pickle for at least 24 hours before enjoying. The longer the star fruit pickles, the more flavorful it will become!
