Put the cut carambola slices into a clean bowl, add edible salt and marinate for more than half an hour, then take out the carambola slices and put them in a sieve to drain the water.

2. Next, prepare a clean wok, add some white sugar into the wok, then put the carambola slices on top, and simmer over low heat until the color of the carambola becomes transparent, take out the transparent carambola slices and let them cool, then add some white sugar and stir evenly. Finally, place the carambola slices neatly on a baking tray and bake in the oven for half an hour.

Method for making dried carambola

1. Select ripe carambolas and soak them in warm water, then wash them. Next, start slicing them. Be careful to control the thickness of the carambolas slices. They should not be too thick. About half a centimeter is the best. Then, sprinkle an appropriate amount of edible salt on the carambolas slices. After marinating for a while, pour out the salt water. Place the carambolas neatly on a bamboo sieve and dry them in the sun for a day.

2. Collect the carambola slices that have been dried for a day, put them in a clean large bowl, add an appropriate amount of white angelica and mix well. After about half an hour, the sugar water will slowly be marinated. Take out the carambola slices, put them on the prepared wire rack, and put them in the refrigerator for a day to allow them to shrink fully. Next, put the carambola slices in the oven and bake for a few minutes.
