Recipe: Acar Buah (Sweet Spicy Fruit Pickle)
| Time: 20 mins (no cooking needed) | Yields: 1 small jar
Ingredients:
1/2 cup dried fruits (raisins, apricots, dates, etc.)
1/4 cup candied or dried citrus peel (optional)
1–2 tbsp chili paste or chili powder
2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp vinegar
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp oil (neutral)
Optional: a bit of fried shallot or garlic for extra depth
Instructions:
1. Prep the fruits:
If too dry or hard, soak in warm water for 5–10 minutes. Drain well.
2. Make the sauce:
In a bowl, mix chili paste, vinegar, sugar, salt, and oil until combined into a thick paste.
3. Mix:
Add fruit and toss gently to coat. Adjust taste — sweeter or spicier if you like.
4. Store:
Keep in a jar or container. Can be eaten right away, but better after 1 day chilled.
Why it works:
No stove needed
Long-lasting and unique
Pairs well with nasi minyak, briyani, or eaten as-is!
