小頌私防菜之。。。 sun-cooked olives..

i followed my parents to the local wet market to get some local olives because my parents were making a trip to see some relative and decided to get them some of this nice local delicacy.. since it was a sunny day i decided to get a half kilogram worth of it to make my sun-cooked olives..

you'll need the following ingredients:

1/2 kg of olives
sugar
soy sauce
that's all.. REMEMBER to do this on a hot sunny day..

first.. wash the olives.. then add sugar and soy sauce (depends on how sweet and how salty you want it)... mix them and then pour onto a flat dish..

leave it under the hot sun.. i left it for 3 - 4 hours to let it "cook".. after the hot sun cooked my olives, i just took them in..

look!!! it is cooked through.. i should have added more sugar but.. it still tasted good..

this way, the goodness of the fruit is not lost through boiling it and then cooking it.. by adding the sugar and soy sauce, the flavor goes directly into the fruit..

some have been shocked by how this could be done.. IT CAN.. and IT HAS..

yum yum...

ENJOY..
