Panchamirtham – prasadam
According to Hindu worship, many festivals have Panchamrita naivedyam as part of the rituals. Pancha means five and Panchamrita means five amruthams or amrtas used in Hindu worship. For festivals, we prepare a version of Panchamirtham with milk, honey, sugar, yogurt, and ghee. There is another version of Panchamritham very popular in Tamil Nadu especially in Murugan temple. Panchamrutham is prepared during temple abhishekams.

Can I use apple for Panjamirtham recipe?
I prepared a version similar to the temple Panjamirtham recipe so I skipped apple. You can add any fruits or dry fruits of your choice.
Can I use jaggery instead of brown sugar?
Traditionally palm sugar is used for Panchamrit but since it is not widely available in the US I have used brown sugar. You can also use jaggery instead
