First, you add ½ tablespoon of betel nut to 2 liters of water, stir until the lime dissolves, then let it sit for 20 minutes to get the lime juice clear.

Next, separate the pulp of the cherries and soak them in salted water for about 5 minutes to remove the dirt.

Then wash the acerola with cold water, pour the clear lime juice into the cherries and cover with a food film, soak the cherries for 6 hours so that the slugs are firm and not crushed.

After soaking the cherries, rinse them with cold water and let them dry.

Continue to slug until the sugar water turns golden brown and glues, then turn off the stove.
