Hello everyone, I am Xiaoyi, in the winter in the north, the weather is particularly dry, so there are many friends who always have some conditions such as uncomfortable throat and dry cough, so at this time of year, we will prepare some kumquat paste, and after drinking, the throat will be much more comfortable.
Now is the season to eat kumquat, and now kumquat is cheap and fresh, today I will share with you the practice of kumquat paste, simple and easy to do, drinking a little every day is good for our body. First of all, we put the kumquat we bought in a larger pot, then add a large spoonful of salt to it, and pour in the water from the wood kumquat.
At this time, we rub the kumquat with our hands and clean the kumquat, because the granularity of the salt is relatively strong, so his friction is also very good, and the salt also has the purpose of disinfection and sterilization, so the cleaning with salt can be cleaned relatively clean, when we clean, by the way, the kumquat pedicle on the top is also cut off, about 5 minutes of scrubbing, the surface is already very clean.
After the kumquat is washed, we take it out of the water, and then put the kumquat in another basin of clean water and scrub it clean, so that we wash it back and forth several times until the water for washing the kumquat becomes clear, after washing, we take it out of the water, and then put it in the basin for later use.
Next, we put 40 grams of rock sugar into the garlic pound, and then use the garlic pounder to mash it, after the rock sugar is mashed, we put it in a bowl for later use, at this time we will cut the cleaned kumquat into thin slices, try to cut it slightly thinner, so that it is easier to boil out the water when boiling.
We cut all the kumquats, and then we have to pick out the seeds for him to pick out the kumquat slices that contain more seeds, or we can pick them off with a knife with a gentle pinch, many friends do not remove the seeds when making kumquats, so the taste may be deviated, if there are seeds boiled out in it, it will be slightly bitter.
If you don't mind, you don't have to go, we pour the processed kumquat directly into the basin, and then put the mashed rock sugar into it and mix it evenly with your hands, so that the surface of each piece of kumquat is coated with rock sugar, find Guan Junying, and then we put it aside to marinate for two hours, and after two hours, the kumquat will marinate more water, and at this time the rock sugar is basically melted.
This is not to help us shorten the boiling time, then we pour the kumquat into the non-stick pan, at the beginning of the first with low heat to keep stir-frying, the whole boiling process took about 40 minutes, boiled to 10 minutes when it began to be a little sticky, generally boiled to 40 minutes when there is more paste out, almost an hour to boil.
Then we pour the boiled kumquat directly into the oil-free and water-free fresh-keeping box, the drier the kumquat paste boiled, the longer the preservation time, and so on after natural cooling, we then put the lid on it and put it in the refrigerator for refrigeration, at this time we can eat and take it with special convenience, every day to drink a cup will have unexpected surprises, everyone hurry up to do it.
