Notes
1. If using fresh, slice the stop and bottom off, then cut down the sides, following the fruit’s contours to remove the skin and whit pith. Over the bowl of macerating vegetables, cut between the membranes to remove the individual fruit segments. This same technique can be used on a lemon.2. Feel free to use a fresh jalapeño or serrano chile pepper. Always use gloves when working with peppers and or thoroughly wash your hands after. 3. Before serving bring a pan of boiling water to the boil and gently add the eggs with a slotted spoon. and simmer for 6 minutes. Remove with slotted spoon and run under cold running water until easy to handle.
