Cut the ends off the star fruit and trim any rough spots.

Dice the star fruit and remove any seeds.

Add the diced star fruit to a pot without adding water, as it will release its own juice.

Add broken cinnamon sticks and cloves to the pot with the star fruit.

Cover the pot and boil the star fruit on low heat for about 15 minutes until it releases juice.

After about 30 minutes, check the star fruit; it should be mushy and most of the liquid absorbed.

Add white sugar to the pot, adjusting the amount based on the quantity of fruit.

Add almond essence to the mixture.

Continue to boil the mixture until it is as dry as possible, getting rid of all excess liquid.

Turn off the heat and let the mixture sit to dry further.

Transfer the mixture to a storage container and add spice rum to soak the fruit.

Cover the container and store it in a dark place or in the sun for a few days to preserve the fruit.
