While shopping at a grocery store a couple towns over, I saw some frozen soursop fruit pulp. I was looking for cranberries in the freezer case, which they did not have, so what the heck, I grabbed (2) 1 pound pouches of frozen soursop pulp.
I've heard of soursop fruit, never tasted it, but what the heck! I'm always looking for something new and fun! At check out, the clerk asked me if the frozen stuff was good. I replied, I didn't know as I've never tried it before. She commented that the fresh fruit is Really Good! Hmmm, well, this is starting off on a good note!
At home, I nicked the pouch and tasted the fruit. It tasted like melon-banana-strawberry. Fibery sections with 1 large black seed. As the seeds were large and seemed easy to remove, I worked through the pulp, separating the seeds. I didn't want to run it through a food mill, I thought the seeds were big enough that the mill action would scrape off some of the exterior and might be a bit bitter. Easy-peasy to pop out the seeds.
Add a couple ingredients-
3 garlic cloves
1/4 white onion
2 Tbsp lime juice
1/4 cup white balsamic
1 tbsp grated ginger
1 fatalii pepper
This was simmered for a bit then ran through the food processor with a blade. The result was....not the right stuff. Too lumpy and too stringy. So... Off to the BlendTec we go!
But that is still to gloopy. Added some more balsamic, lime, and some apple juice. It's getting there, but still too thick. I didn't want to add any more sweet juice, so I added water. Got it to the right consistency, good Zing from the ginger, mild heat from the one fatalii, sweet mellow fruit flavor....Now What to do with it!!!!
It was brought back up to temp and bottles with HFH method.
This next photo looks grey due to fluorescent lights, but it actually is a light creamy white.
I'll probably be including this in the winter's Making Hot Sauce class, along with something Cranberry related. I'm looking forward to the finished class photos of this white sauce, a brilliant cranberry sauce, gotta get something orange.....a blueberry/purple something.....I see a rainbow on the horizon!
I think I added an additional-
1/4 cup lime juice
1/2 cup white balsamic
1 cup apple juice
1 cup water
I'll check measurements tomorrow
Yield- 7 1/2 5 oz woozie bottles
pH= <3.2
