As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, Ah Tao has recently released several mooncake videos. This time I plan to make a jackfruit mooncake, first of all, the core of jackfruit, in fact, is similar to the nature of white kidney beans or lotus seeds, so it is possible to use jackfruit cores to make filling.
But if you only use the core, saying that it is a jackfruit mooncake, the flavor is not prominent enough, so I also use the pulp, make the jackfruit flesh into a preserve, and then add it to the filling. The idea is equivalent to adding cranberry crushed to the lotus filling. I will divide the recipe into two parts, today is the process of making preserves from the pulp, so let's prepare it with me!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="65" > material</h1>
Jackfruit pulp 1000g
Water 400g
Caster sugar 200g
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="64" > approach</h1>
▼ Step 1
After 1400g of jackfruit is peeled, the flesh is 1000g and the core is 400g. (Don't throw away the core, the next article teaches you to make a mooncake filling)
▼ Step 2
Pour 400g of water into the pot and add 200g of caster sugar.
▼ Step 3
Add 1000g of jackfruit pulp and bring to a boil over high heat.
▼ Step 4
Turn to medium heat, see that there is foam on the surface, and want to skim out. While cooking, jackfruit will gradually dehydrate, this method is relatively fast, if you are not in a hurry, the pulp is refrigerated with fine sugar and marinated overnight.
▼ Step 5
Note that as long as the flesh becomes transparent, don't keep boiling it rotten.
▼ Step 6
Fish out all the pulp. The remaining soup, if you like, can be used as a drink syrup.
▼ Step 7
Lay the pulp flat on a baking sheet lined with oiled paper.
▼ Step 8
Send it to the furnace or air dryer and air dry at 70 degrees for about 6 hours.
▼ Step 9
Until the flesh becomes tough.
▼ Step 10
Jackfruit preserves are a bit like dried mangoes, but more fragrant than dried mangoes and have a lingering aftertaste when chewed in the mouth.

1. If there is no wind stove or air dryer, can I use an oven?
You can use an oven, the temperature is the same, but due to the slower air flow, it will take longer.
2. Why make jackfruit into preserves?
The taste of candied fruit is more harmonious with the moon cake filling, and it has less moisture, more sugar, a long shelf life, and is not easy to spoil. If you put jackfruit into the mooncake filling as a dried fruit, it will absorb the moisture of the mooncake filling, resulting in a worse taste.
3. How long can preserve preserves?
Sealed refrigeration can be stored for one month.
4, why should I cook, can not directly dry the fruit?
Not boiled, directly dried, that thing is called dried fruit. After the sugar is boiled, the sugar in the fruit and the sugar in the sugar water are exchanged to further increase the sugar content of the fruit, so that it is dried, which we call candied fruit. So what is made of boiled and uncooked is different, one is dried fruit, the other is preserves.
