Ingredients for Preserved Rambutan in Rock Sugar Syrup
Tip: When selecting Thai rambutan, look for bright red shells with soft, green spines, indicating freshness. Choose fruits that are evenly sized and free from bruises or dark spots. Gently squeeze the rambutan; if it feels firm, it’s likely to be sweet and juicy.
2 Instructions for Making Preserved Rambutan in Rock Sugar Syrup:
Step 1 Prepare the Rambutan
Start by separating the rambutan into individual fruits and giving them a good rinse to remove any dirt or debris.
Next, peel the rambutan and carefully use a knife to remove the white flesh, discarding the seeds. Give the flesh a quick rinse and set it aside to drain.

Step 2 Make the Preserved Rambutan
In a pot, combine 700g of rock sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1.2 liters of filtered water. Stir well and place the pot on the stove over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has completely dissolved.
Once the sugar syrup is boiling, reduce the heat to low and gently add all the prepared rambutan to the pot. Allow the rambutan to cook for approximately 15 minutes, or until they turn slightly translucent and are just cooked through. Skim off any foam that forms during the cooking process.
Note: It’s important to maintain a gentle simmer and not overcook the rambutan to preserve their crisp texture.
