fruits
For the sauce, puree chili, shrimp paste and salt after that add brown sugar after the sugar and chili are mixed evenly add a few pieces of cucumber, the point is so that the water from the cucumber can thaw the mixture of brown sugar and chili until you get the right sauce like the photo below

how to make sauce
‘Pencok’ is ready to be enjoyed by slicing the fruit into brown sugar sauce or we can sprinkle the brown sugar sauce on top of the fruit slices.
