Fruit Enzyme Harvested

Finally I am going to post an update about my Fruit Enzyme! Minimum harvest for Fruit Enzyme is 3 weeks but I extended it to a week more. I was too busy at home mostly either trying out my bakes and also juggling with helping my eldest child with her revision as she was having her Continual Assessment for the first term. It was stressful for parents of course and baking is one effective way to destress.

I also finally returned my Cheesecake Bible and some of the Muffin recipe books I borrowed. A day early before the expiry date.. I shan't borrow any books till I am back as I will going on a week's break so you won't be seeing any posts next week.


And here's the update on my Fruit Enzyme.

My Fruit Enzyme. If you remembered, a month ago, I picked up learning how to do Garbage and Fruit Enzyme. For the Fruit Enzyme, I used Dragonfruits and Lemons in one and Citrus Fruits in another. A link to all my Enzyme posts, click below:

So, what happens when you have reached the harvest date for the fruit enzyme? Well, you prepare some bottles for storage, a sieve and that's it.

I bought two tall glass bottles and made sure it was washed clean and totally dry. Glass bottles are the best as some plastic bottles are only suitable for one time usage and may produce harmful gasses if reused.

Sieve the liquid of the enzyme into a small jug or directly into your bottle. I used a small jug then pour it into my bottles. My bottles are actually meant to store Olive Oil. Each bottle can contain about 300mls of liquid.

When you are done pouring the liquids to your bottle, you can store the enzyme liquid into the fridge. A tablespoon a day before you sleep is good. So with my more than 300ml x 2, it's going to take a while to finish it. You can also take a tablespoon of it in the morning too but some of those who may be driving is best not to consume it as enzyme does make some a little tipsy.. not sure if it is true. So better take my advice if you are those who cannot take to alcohol.

So what happens to the pulp that is rid of all liquid? I've been told that it makes very good fertilizer. Dry it in the sun and pound, grind or whichever way to make them into smaller bits. Place them in your plant pots or soil as these are natural organic stuff that will benefit our plants. You can even add them to your compost.
