Fruit from Malaysia

Jeruk (Malay pickled fruit and vegetables)jeruk

Jeruk is the Malay name for pickled vegetables and fruit, including ginger and papaya, from Malaysia. The one source we read names it in a single line and gives no method.

A short entry: the sources we found record only what is said here about Jeruk itself. Its own sources do not record how it is made, so the steps and scenes below are those of Tempoyak, the closest documented fruit ferment, shown as a guide to the method, not as a record of Jeruk.
