Thanks Shilpa, This reminds me My childhood where my grandmother used to prepare this pickle for us to have with congee. Also instead of bimbal you can use carambal.

I have a tree which fruits four or five times a year very prolifically, but I have never really known what to do with them, thanks for the reccipe. Tried to cany them once and that turned out ok. The tree will grow easily from seed. I could send seeds to Bon if I had his address.

Bilimbi grow in Hawaii… We have a tree that produces 4-5 fruit crops a year
I have seen them frozen in Mainland US… don’t know how good they would be for the pickles…

oh, I just saw chetna’s comment, and I am so sad that there is nothing that substitute for bimbal gojjo. That is so good.

Since Cynthia has mentioned bilimbi on her blog, I am pretty sure, I might find it in a Guyanese or Carribean grocery store..

Will definitely look for it this weekend…

Oh, those bimbuls look so enticing and mouth-watering!!!

One of my favourite pickes, growing up, was bimbul lonche, eaten with plain Dali Thoy !!

And bimbla gojju is another lovely recipe !!

How I miss this here !! Have not seen any of the Indian stores here…

Thanks, aayi for this beautiful recipe!!

I have never seen bimbal before. It sounds a wonderful pickle.
