Pickles

The women gather to wash, cut, and dry the fruit in the sun, filling the air with the sweet-sour aroma of the tender fruit. There is a sense of urgency on the farm as they go about this arduous task, carefully & meticulously mixing the spices, ensuring the highest level of hygiene, adding in some fragrant oils as preservative and most importantly, keeping us away from the courtyard where all the action takes place, lest we sample the fruit of their labour too soon!
