Ingredients
- 600 gm peeled aloe vera flesh, cut into large cubes, soak 10 minutes in water to remove slime, then drain well
- 4 large fresh mottled chilies, slit and deseeded, leave whole
- 6 pandan leaves, cut into short lengths (if unavailable omit)
- 1 and 3/4 of a cup sugar
- 1 and 1/2 of a cup vinegar
- 1 and 1/2 of a cup water
- 1/2 of a cup salt (1/4 of a cup for a sweeter pickle)
Directions
- Boil together pandan leaves, sugar, vinegar, water and salt till sugar and salt are completely dissolved. Turn off heat and cool liquid completely.
- Divide aloe cubes and chilies evenly between 2 (approx 400ml capacity) clean dry glass jars with glass or plastic lids. Remove pandan leaves from cool liquid and fill jars to the top with it.
- Screw caps on securely and refrigerate for 3 days before using.
- Keeps for 1 month, refrigerated. Snack on the aloe cubes if you're trying to lose weight - they really stop your appetite in it's tracks.

Hee hee... I just had to see it for myself. Do you think I could substitute the aloe that is native to North America? I know where I can get some of that easily. Anyway, it looks interesting, so I've bookmarked it. Have yourself a very happy Easter, lady!

Ha Ha!! LOVE it... and of course, being a VOLS fan, I'm all for pickling anything GATOR!! LOL Sounds great.

Hey Catbot! I don't see a problem with N American aloe. Most cacti probably taste the same - bland lol Just be sure it's an edible variety as I'm not sure that ALL cacti or for that matter ALL aloe varieties are edible. Happy pickling!
