Falsa Sherbet made from Fuschia colour little fruit Falsa is amazing…..In looks it resembles cranberry, blue berry and jamun. It has antioxidants, has a cooling effect on the body, assists in preventing heat strokes, stomach aches and disorders, cures anaemia etc.A drink of its own kind, very unique... beautiful and yummy.
First of all, wash it in a colander turning them very lightly with delicate hands. Yes, you have to do it with really soft touch, otherwise the pulp skin would get peeled off and you would be left with seeds only.
Once washed, soak Falsa in just enough water with sugar for an hour or so.During this time sugar will also dissolve on its own.
Now using hands, rub it thoroughly so that all the pulp comes out. Strain the solution using a colander.
.Now, put the leftover seeds in the sieve, into a vessel. Add some more water. Rub with hands and again pass through the sieve.
The first juice is excellent for making “Falsa Kulfiâ€, as it contains the maximum pulp, by pouring them in moulds and freezing them. In case you do not have it, you can use ice tray.
Repeat this process 1 or 2 times more till you are left with just seeds.
Collect all the juices extracted in 3-4 times and chill in refrigerator. Remains good for 3 to 4 days only.
Before serving, add rock salt and serve.
Notes
Add rock salt only at the time of serving. If added earlier, it deteriotates the taste.
Remains good in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
Incase, you wish to preserve it for long, then freeze the juice and later on, thaw and use.
