Step by step recipe

Stage 1

Corn salad comes in small "tufts" and these are often full of sand or earth.

Stage 2 - 10 min.

Plunge the corn salad into a sink full of water that is barely lukewarm with a little vinegar added.

Swish the leaves round thoroughly and leave to soak for 10 minutes.

Stage 3 - 5 min.

After this time, take the leaves out using a

spider...

Stage 4

...or simply use your hands.

Stage 5

You will see that this rinsing has washed out a lot of sand or earth.

If the corn salad is still not completely clean (you can still find sand on it), change the water and rinse a second time.

Stage 6 - 5 min.

Trim off any roots that are still attached.

Stage 7

Finish by drying the corn salad in a salad spinner. It is then ready for use.

Keeping: A few hours in the fridge rpotected with plastic film.

Usually to make fruit jellies or (fruit "paste"), it's like jam but you need to cook fruit pulp and sugar much longer. Unfortunately, this long cooking is bad for both vitamins and flavour. In this recipe we use a special jam gelling agent, to reduce cooking time as much as possible .
