Santol Preserve

TweetPinShareYummly

Santol or cotton fruit is one of the fruits that will benefit from preserving it even though it is not easily over riped. It has a thick layer of pulp and only the soft outer part of the seed is edible. The pulp is not very appetizing to eat and sometimes contains sap. Preserving it in sugar syrup is not only for storage purposes but for good eating as well because it is already sweetened.
