Chapter 14
Fruit syrup is really easy to make.
“It's a bit of a hassle to prepare, but all you need is mix the pulp and sugar in equal parts and let it sit, then it becomes fruit syrup.”
Gio brought a cleanly sterilized glass jar filled with friendship, peace, love, and affection.
It was so large that it was more of a pot than a jar, but Gio, who took after his grandmother, a prominent figure in the village, won't spare on any ingredients when cooking. It had to be this big.
“Okay, let's see.”
He washed the full Goby fruit, and the Drought Jar, which had a sour and bitter aroma thoroughly in water. The pulp of the Goby fruit was as soft as tender jelly and juicy, whereas the Drought Jug was like an unripe tangerine, with less juice and firmer pulp.
Since the skin of Goby fruit was so thin it could melt away, so he simply cut it into quarters without any additional processing, while the Drought Jar was peeled off all the white and translucent skin, leaving only the flesh.
“And….”
Just pour it in.
