ABOUT Chatpata Ber (Jujube) Pickle RECIPE

Tangy and sweet, this pickle is a tradition passed on from my mother-in-law.

Instructions

Wash the ber and dry completely. Add salt and turmeric powder. Arrange in a plate and dry in the sun covered with a thin cotton cloth. This is to ensure that the all moisture dries out completely.
Now melt jaggery in a deep -bottomed pan, add the dried ber. Let it boil initially then let it cook in medium flame till the jaggery thickens and starts coating the bers. This will take some time. (approx. 45 mins to 1 hr)
Keep stirring frequently to prevent it from sticking to the vessel. Once done, let it cool a bit, then add panch phoran powder and chilli powder.
Store in glass jars once its completely cooled. You can store it for 4-5 months outside and even for a year in fridge.
