Frequently Asked Questions
What is a murabba?
Whole fruit slow-cooked and kept in a heavy sugar syrup - a preserve rather than a jam, because the fruit stays whole and yielding instead of being broken down. Amla, the Indian gooseberry, is the most common, and the syrup is what makes a fruit that is bracingly sour on its own palatable.
How is it eaten?
A piece at a time, on its own or alongside a meal, and it is often taken in the morning. Some households serve it with curd, roti or paratha, and the syrup is generally used rather than thrown away.
What does it taste like?
Sweet first, then sour underneath, with a faint astringency from the fruit that the syrup never quite covers. Amla is intensely sour raw, and a murabba keeps some of that edge on purpose rather than being a straightforwardly sweet preserve.
The syrup has gone grainy or set hard. Is it off?
That is sugar crystallising, which happens as a heavy syrup stands, and it is not spoilage. Standing the jar in warm water usually dissolves it back. What would concern you is a fermented or fizzy smell, a bulging lid or visible mould, none of which is what crystallised sugar looks like.
How do I stop it spoiling once opened?
A clean dry spoon every time, and keep the fruit under the syrup - the syrup is the preservative and a piece left sitting above it is where trouble starts. Whether the opened jar goes in the fridge is on the label; follow that rather than assuming.
Is it very sweet?
Yes. A murabba is fruit held in a heavy sugar syrup, and that is what makes it a preserve - the sugar is doing the keeping, not just the sweetening. Whatever is in this one is on the ingredient list on the pack.
What is on the pack?
The ingredient list, any allergen statement, the country of origin and the best-before date, all of which are the manufacturer's to state and are printed on the packaging rather than reproduced here. The product page carries the weight, the barcode and the date as the store entered them.
Can I order this with items from other stores?
Yes. DoorToShop is a multi-merchant marketplace, so this can go in the same cart as items from other local stores and you check out once.
How much is delivery, and is there a minimum order?
Delivery is calculated at checkout, where the exact amount is confirmed. Free delivery applies above the threshold shown there, in the Auckland region only. There is no minimum order value, and you can combine items from other local stores in the same cart.
